synopsis
No one in King Company is in the mood to whistle "Dixie" when Pvt. Moseby Lovelace (Jonathan Bolt), an unreconstructed Southerner, joins the platoon. Saunders (Vic Morrow) is particularly peeved that Lovelace is constantly complaining about "Yankee" fighting methods: Why, he asks, does everyone duck into foxholes when you should be fighting the Nazis face-to-face, "Rebel" style? Also, the new recruit has a habit of playing fast and loose with regulations, including marching across a stream in his bare feet! Still, Lovelace gets results when the going gets tough--but will he ever learn to shed his Southern-friend skin and become a team player?
