In 1941, seem obvious that we going to war! Mr. George B. Lambert' company get big order for bombers!

Forrest play Jerry Barton, test pilot! He at air show trying to get somebloody to listen to his idea about 'robot pilot!'

Dude pointing to awesome looking racing plane from 1941!

Jerry and Doc locate Mr. Lambert at local golf course... He the one without the dress, knuckleheads!

They gonna try and impress him with remote control 'robot pilot' model airplane.

Mission accomplished, Mr. Lambert gonna give Jer' idea a shot!

Only problem is, model plane crash in lake and it splash water on Mr. Lambert' spoiled brat daughter, Betty, played by Carol Hughes. Look at some character names Carol had in flick...

DALE ARDEN! Oh, and here is title of flick she was in that sound damn interesting... EARTHWORM TRACTOR!!!

Jerry an' the Doc do all the work and Mr. Lambert get all the credit, what else?

Somehow, Betty and Aunt Maude get lost and running out of gas near where Jer an' Doc working on secret 'robot pilot' project for her pops!

They steal gas, but, get stuck and Jer have to pull them out. Plus, gas they steal belong to Jerry! What hell, now, what?!

Jerry has little plan to pay back Betty for acting like bitch to him!.. Weclome to filthy bachelor cabin, gurlz!

That's right, put on sexy clothes and get to work cleaning up this joint!

Wait a minute, that's not me!!

Curse you, damn spot!

After gurlies work butts off, time to clean 'em up! Hell, yeah!!

Betty not paying attention and she fall off ladder, onto her can! Jer run like hell from plane he working on, over to help her up.

He kidnap the gurlz and try to get away with plane!

But, Doc' equipment actually work and they bring plane in for safe landing.
