Synopsis: For a battle hardened combat soldier the peacetime Army can hold terrors that make him wish he were back in action again. Take the case of 1st Lieutenant Stanley Poole, a career Sergeant who earned a battlefield commission and is now assigned as Supply Officer on an old-line Army Post in the Middle West. It isn't that the life is unpleasant, but only that the Army has decided that its officers should pass tests indicating the equivalent of two years of college study - which makes things rather uncomfortable for a man who never even finished high school. To hold on to his cherished silver bar, Lt. Poole has been bribing Capt. Mal Malcolm, the Education Officer, with the best items that his supply room has to offer - and these have been converted into the cash necessary to buy Capt. Malcolm his heart's desire, a red Jaguar convertible. Now an inspection is in the offing, and Lt. Poole's problems are compounded by the added threat of having his pilfering exposed.
