What might put you off
  • Rated G, but peril.
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.

Brendan Byers III, one of the richest men in America, has been pronounced 4-F and can't serve his country in its war against Hitler. Byers does not take "No" for an answer and recruits other 4-F's to fight against Hitler.
