Envious of the pay of $30 per month and free khaki britches and gold buttons of his friend Don Elbie, Snuffy Smith joins the U.S. Army with his dog Mr. Carson concealed by an invisibility potion. His company first sergeant is Ed Cooper, a former revenue agent who had unsuccessfully attempted to locate and destroy Snuffy's still.
Don has invented a new rangefinder that he hopes may be of use to the army. General Rosewater hopes to test the rangefinder in war games with a rival general. A pair of fifth columnists hope to steal the rangefinder but are defeated by Snuffy's wife Lowizie, his invisible dog and his hillbilly neighbors.
