synopsis
While getting their marriage license, two Army officers get an emergency call to head down to Panama to deal with some Chinese spies. Good performances and photography help, but there are still some slow spots when too much detail is provided for things like code deciphering, with no real comic relief. The movie is based on a story by Arthur Hoerl and Monroe Shaff.
