Sentemental military comedy revolves around two contemporary army buddies, Master Sergeant Maxwell Slaughter (Jackie Gleason), a smooth operator, who supply Sergeant Eustis Clay (Steve McQueen) idolizes and hopes will join him as a civilian in a private business enterprise. Clay endeavors to be a player in the military, just like Slaughter, but it seems as though Clay still has a lot to learn from his mentor. They are joined by Tuesday Weld as a shrill dizzy blonde teenager named Bobby Jo Pepperdine and Tony Bill as bumbling Private First Class Jerry Meltzer, McQueens screwball sidekick.
Eustis Clay is a Supply Sergeant at a US Army base in the American south. Eustis is looking to his future when he will soon be decommissioned, as a civilian when he plans to make his proverbial millions as he comes up with one hair brained scheme after another, some of those schemes for the seed money needed to start that money making business. With any of those current schemes, Eustis will often employ the more than willing assistance of somewhat naive Pvt. Jerry Meltzer. The one thing Eustis has determined is the company name: Maxwell Slaughter/Eustis Clay Inc. Overweight and in middle age, Master Sergeant Maxwell Slaughter is the person to who Eustis looks up to the most, and as such Eustis is trying to convince him to join him in the world outside the military. Wiser than Eustis, Maxwell humors him in truly enjoying their friendship which entails each having the others back in almost every situation, in knowing that Eustis schemes have no chance of success, and in being a career military man meaning he has no intention of joining Eustis in business, even if the schemes were viable. To help convince Maxwell sooner than later seeing to his own imminent exit from the military, Eustis believes a girlfriend for Maxwell could help nudge him in that direction. Of the many women around the base that Eustis knows, who he chooses as that girlfriend for Maxwell is eighteen year old high school senior Bobby Jo Pepperdine, who, despite being a proverbial good girl, has had her fair share of military men boyfriends even older than Maxwell. Eustis formal introduction of Maxwell to Bobby Jo has unintended consequences for them all, especially as two MPs, Sergeants James Priest and Fred Lenahan, have long had it out for Eustis.
