Shoulder Arms (1918)





World War One. A recruit is called up to an American training camp and, drilled by a grim sergeant, does his best. Not knowing his left foot from his right, however, doesn't help. In the trenches of the Western Front, things are little better, until a food parcel offers him a unique weapon.
