More Military Mayhem, Bilko-Style

In order for you to get any real entertainment value out of watching this episode from TV's "The Phil Silvers Show" you've gotta be willing to cut it some serious slack.

Anyway - As the story goes - The Colonel dispatches a tough drill sergeant to turn Bilko's men into soldiers, so Ernie and the others get even by resorting to psychological warfare.

See what happens when Bilko goes into his shtick of deception and conniving.
