00:41Rangefinder is correct in theory.
00:44Needs an actual field test to prove it.
00:46Well, why don't you try out a maneuver, sir?
00:48That's a good suggestion.
00:50Maybe just what I need to defeat General Hopkins.
00:52The old fox.
00:54You take charge of it, Sergeant.
00:56Watch it carefully.
00:57I'll call for it later.
01:00That'll be all.
01:01Very good, sir.
01:02Thank you, sir.
01:04Another thing, Sergeant.
01:08I wish to compliment you on the high morale of your company.
01:11Men from all the other outfits are going to be transferred to yours.
01:13To what do you attribute that?
01:15Well, General, my theory has always been that an army travels on its stomach.
01:20And I personally see to it that my kitchen crew makes them happy.
01:24Very interesting.
01:25Let's go down and inspect your kitchen.
01:26Now?
01:27Certainly now.
01:28Oh, but, uh...
01:29No buts.
01:30Come, Sergeant.
01:31Oh, General.
01:32General.
01:36What is this?
01:37It's a still, General.
01:39I'm just cooking up another batch of corn drippings.
01:42Another batch?
01:43Yeah.
01:44They'd be drinking it faster than I can make it.
01:46So this is what goes on in your company, huh?
01:48Well, I didn't know.
01:49It's your business to know.
01:50Yes, sir.
01:51I put Yardburn in your charge.
01:52Yes, sir.
01:53Come on, make soldier of him.
01:54Yes, sir.
01:56Oh, get out of here.
01:58Get out of here.
02:00The boy's going to be powerful and sorry without that liquor.
02:04Get out of here before I break your neck.
02:06Give me that.
02:08Get out of here.
02:12Mmm.
02:13Mmm.
02:17Oh.
02:21Think I'll pass for a soldier?
02:22I don't know.
02:23That salute's pretty phony.
02:24I'll get by.
02:25Well, you'd better.
02:26If you're caught impersonating a soldier, 20 years.
02:29Look, it's worth the risk if we get that range finder.
02:32Well, I talked to the hillbilly and I talked to Cooper.
02:35Your shorts in Cooper's office?
02:37Well, he's got it.
02:38Where else could it be?
02:39I'll get it.
02:40See you when I get back.
02:41Keep your eye on those civvies.
02:42OK.
02:43Undoubtedly, gentlemen, you understand how much these maneuvers mean to me.
02:48As to when and where we hold them is up to Washington.
02:51Whether we win will depend a lot on the type of country we operate in.
02:55Upon what do you base your theory?
02:57The Blue Army has twice as many tanks as we have.
03:00Yes, but we offset that with artillery.
03:11And incidentally, one of the men has perfected a range finder,
03:14which looks like a great improvement over the present one.
03:16Well, how does it differ?
03:18It has an automatic range calculator.
03:20I'd certainly like to see that.
03:22I knew you would.
03:23I've sent for it.
03:50With a tank moving at 35 miles an hour,
04:04you can see how important automatic range calculation would be.
04:07Yes?
04:10Sergeant Cooper reporting with a range finder, sir.
04:12Send him in.
04:14Put it right over there, Sergeant.
04:19Gentlemen, the new General Rosewater range finder.
04:23When you have this, you practically have the range.
04:29Oh, it was here the last time I saw it.
04:34What does this mean?
04:35Oh, I can't help it.
04:37Sergeant, unless you have that range finder's maneuvers,
04:40you'll be court-martialed for negligence.
04:43Insubordination and conduct unbecoming a soldier.
04:47Is that all, sir?
04:48Yes, and sabotage.
04:50Pack your stuff and get out of here.
04:51Yes, sir.
04:52I'm going.
04:53I'm sorry, sir.
05:06Yes, sir.
05:07Cancel all these and close the gate.
05:09I'm sorry, gentlemen.
05:10I'm sure they'll locate the range finder.
05:15Now, as for the maneuvers,
05:16I don't know what the strategy board will decide,
05:19but I'm in favor of holding the maneuvers in the Ozark Mountains.
05:22The water is pure, the weather is ideal, and it's rough country.
05:26Water, mountains, rough country?
05:28That air's sounding a heap like hootin' holler.
05:31And again I say...
05:32Now, just a minute, General.
05:35If you are looking for rough country and fitting weather,
05:40the Great Smoky's be it.
05:42What's the meaning of this, Yardbird Smith?
05:44Now, don't be a-stoppin' me.
05:46That air my home place.
05:48I know every bend and crook in that river
05:51and every holler what's got a still in it.
05:54Yardbird Smith, attention!
05:56Don't be so bossy.
05:58You'll lock my ears.
06:00Attention!
06:01Don't be so bossy.
06:03You'll lock my grandpappy all the time a-givin' words.
06:07Snuffy, you've exhausted my patience.
06:10I've done everything possible to make a soldier out of you,
06:13but you'll never make it.
06:15I'm a-comin' down here and you're sendin' me home.
06:18You're sendin' men up to farchin' me back.
06:21You put me in the kitchen and then you chuck me out.
06:24You put me in khaki breeches for a-savin' your life.
06:29Be this a nice way to treat a hero.
06:34But I'm forgivin' you everything.
06:36I'm still your friend.
06:38And if you ever be a-needin' me,
06:40just be sendin' me three calls to the whippoorwill.
06:50Halt.
06:51Where do you think you're going?
06:53Goin' uptown.
06:54That's what you think.
06:55All leaves are canceled.
07:00Time's a-wastin'.
07:02What are we waitin' for?
07:04Let's make haste and don't get this soldier sore.
07:07I'll bounce a rifle ball off every punkin' hated critter.
07:11Got me mad, I'm gettin' madder.
07:13Give me my gun, my jogger licker.
07:15Time's a-wastin'.
07:16Hear the bugle call.
07:18Let's make haste and get spark plug from his stall.
07:21Cause if we hitch him to Louise,
07:23we can lick the varmints easy.
07:25Time's a-wastin'.
07:26What are we waitin' for?
07:28Time's a-wastin'.
07:29What are we waitin' for?
07:32Let's go over to B Company.
07:48Hello, Shorty.
07:49Hello.
07:50Goin' someplace?
07:51I'll be a-goin' home.
07:53Where do you live?
07:54I live in Hooten Howlin' in the Great Smoky Mountains.
07:57I won't let you out.
07:58The gates are locked.
07:59I've been a-gettin' away from revenues all my life.
08:03Ain't no soldier what can stop me now.
08:05How you gonna do it?
08:07That'll be in my business.
08:09Take me with you, will ya?
08:11No, I ain't a-hankerin' to help no soldier.
08:14Travelin' there like huntin'.
08:17You'd be better off alone.
08:22Ah, jeepers.
08:23I near forgot my jug.
08:25All right, Shorty.
08:26I'll roll your pack for you.
08:38Hey, you sure my khaki breeches are in there, soldier?
08:41They sure are.
08:42Say, uh, how you gonna get to Hooten Howler?
08:45I'm a-walkin' down till I come to the end of the road.
08:48I'm a-turnin' into a wagon road.
08:50And I'm just keepin' walkin' till I get there.
08:52Are you sure you're goin'?
08:54I'm goin' as far away from this army as I can get.
08:58And when I gets there, I'm a-stayin'.
09:08Listen now and get this straight.
09:10I can't get out.
09:13But I put the range finder in Snuffy Smith's pack.
09:17He's walking down the main road leading to Hooten Howler.
09:21Hooten Howler.
09:24Pick him up in the car.
09:26And get them to tell me that you can't locate that range finder.
09:29Yes, sir.
09:30I've turned the place inside out, sir.
09:32What else can happen?
09:33They plot the games for the Ozarks.
09:35And the war department puts them in the Great Smokies.
09:38And you lost the range finder.
09:39Yes, sir.
09:41It's a fine finish for me.
09:43Yes, sir.
09:46Yardbird Smith knows that country.
09:48Send him to me.
09:49You send him home, sir.
09:51It's the last straw.
09:52You don't need Yardbird Smith.
09:54I was a revenue officer in that country.
09:57Really?
09:58I've chased Yardbird Smith all through those mountains.
10:01Did you ever catch him?
10:02Yeah.
10:04No, sir.
10:05I still want Yardbird Smith.
10:07You want me to get him?
10:08Yes, sir.
10:10That'll be all, sir.
10:13Oh!
10:23Hiya, soldier.
10:25Howdy, miss.
10:26Want a ride?
10:27Well, I ain't be caring if I do.
10:29Is that it?
10:30Yeah.
10:43Aren't you going to take that pack off?
10:45No.
10:46You'd be much more comfortable without it.
10:48It ain't just like leaning my back up against a tree.
10:53Oh, come on, beautiful.
10:54Take that pack off.
10:56No.
10:59Don't.
11:01Please don't.
11:03Don't miss me.
11:06Please don't.
11:08Don't miss me.
11:17Don't.
11:19Please don't.
11:21Don't miss me.
11:24Come and get me.
11:29Come back here.
11:35Come back here.
12:05Come back here.
