***SPOILERS*** One of the better post Leo & Bernard Gorcey "Bowery Boys" flicks that has Duke reminisce of his days in The US army in North Africa when he together with Sach and later Chuck Butch & Blinkey single handedly made possible for the secret allied invasion that won the war there. That's by the two putting their lives on the line in going undercover as two German soldiers assigned to Rommel's feared Afrika Corps.
This all starts when US War Department investigator Lester Bradfield showed up at Mike Clancy's Diner, after almost getting strangled by a fishnet, in the Bowery looking for a US Army issue pot that's been missing since 1942! It's then that Duke who was he last person to see the pot alive goes into this long flashback about his and the "Bowery Boys" exploits back in WWII that lead to the pots disappearance! Chosen by their superiors Duke & Sach went on a suicide mission to infiltrate the Afrika Corps and find out what their up to in order to make possible the upcoming US invasion of North Africa. Sach & Duke as German Col. Hoffman Von Snabble and Pvt Schultz sneak behind enemy lines to make contact with the local Arab rebels lead by Col. Ahmed Tabari who's to start guerrilla warfare against the Germans. There's also the Hawk who's the major link between the allies and the Arab rebels who has all the information about the German troop and panzer division deployments as well as who among those in power,in his Arab homeland, are really working with the Germans against the allies.
***SPOILERS*** As it turns out it's Sultan Sidi-Omar who's supposedly working with the Americans to liberate his country from the Germans who's actually planning to double-cross them by giving the US Military false information thus setting it up for a German ambush as soon as it's troop & assault boats hit the North African beaches! With both Duke and Sach getting the rest of the "Bowery Boys" to reinforce them they soon take control of the situation and put an end to both Rommell and Hitler's mad dreams of North African, and all the oil wells situated there, conquest by opening the door to that US invasion!
Of course all this didn't at all faze investigator Lester Bradfield who's more interested in getting his hands on the missing pot and bringing it back to US Army headquarters in Washinton D.C then any war stories, true or imaginary, that Duke can dream up!
***MAJOR SPOILER*** It's when Bradfield agrees to accept the four dollars and change that the pot cost is when the you know what suddenly hit the fan! That's when Mike Clancy hit his cash register to get the money to play Bradfield for the pot that all hell broke loose! It's then that the missing kitchen pot,now a flower pot, miraculously reappeared and ended up planting itself right on top of Lester Bradfield's head!
