Introduction

Camp Tar Creek is a backwater US Army outpost, enlivened by the shenanigans of Sergeant Val Valentine, and pal Private Tony Baker. Their money-making schemes must escape detection by Major Hawkins. Baker’s girlfriend is Corporal Lola Grey.

Outline

The series follows the misadventures of a pair of conniving GIs – Sgt. Val Valentine and Pfc. Tony Baker – stationed at Camp Tar Creek, an Army base located in Texas.

They attempt to outwit their by-the-books commander Major Hawkins and his informant Cpl. Wessel (who is derisively called “Weasel” by Baker and Valentine), and profit from their hitch in the army.
