Summary:
Sgt. Bilko: Sgt. Ernie Bilko is the leader of a ragtag group of the sorriest soldiers ever to enlist in the armed forces. Instead of training his troops for battle, he passes on his legacy of gambling and shunning responsibility. Times get tough however, when the base is threatened with a shutdown, and a by-the-book adversary, Major Thorn, is intent on taking Bilko's reputation down with it. Now, all bets are on Bilko to drum up his biggest scheme yet to save Fort Baxter and clear his name! Planes, trains, and automobiles: Steve Martin and John Candy star in John Hughes' classic tale of holiday travel gone awry. Housesitter: Shortly after an architect's girlfriend turns down his marriage proposal, he encounters a woman who decides on her own to move into his empty dream house and pass herself off as his new wife--with hilarious and romantic consequences. Three amigos: The Three Amigos, a silent screen comedy act, arrive in a remote Mexican hamlet for what they think is a lucrative personal appearance, only to discover that they are expected to save the village from a terrorizing gang of bandits.
