Typical Red Skelton fanfare, this time it's 1865 and Red is a bell-hop at a local St. Louis hotel. He seems obsessed with tracking down spies and his opportunity comes when he accidentally captures one and assumes his identity.
Skelton gets more than he bargained for when he does this. He is recruited by the Union Army to go behind southern lines to pass on certain information.
He meets his southern spy in partnership played by a wonderful Arlene Dahl and the two fall for each other. Brian Donlevy, as the heavy, wants Skelton out of the way so that he can resume his relationship with the Dahl character.
The film is fun to watch, but it's basically some basic civil war antics routinely observed.
