After the United States joins the war against Germany in 1917, vaudevillians Harry, Al and Jimmy Ritz have a difficult time getting anyone to book their act, in which they bill themselves as the Silly Schultzes and impersonate Germans. A friend advises the brothers to join the army, which they do, although their illusions that the cavalry is a cushy company are quickly destroyed. Their company, headed by the crusty Sergeant "Angel Face" Walker, is sent to Saint Marie, France, where the brothers befriend Collette, an American orphan whose father, Captain Paul Didot, was killed while serving in the French army.
