Sgt. Davis is a sergeant in the U.S. Army. He recruits Skippy Handelman. Shortly afterwards, Davis is transferred to Fort Wharton, outside Dayton, where he works as a drill sergeant. Fort Wharton is also where Skippy is sent for basic training. As Skippy's drill sergeant, Davis punishes the whole platoon for Skippy's many screw-ups, which makes Skippy extremely unpopular. After a few weeks, Skippy goes AWOL. Davis finds him at the Keaton family's house, takes pity on him, and gives him a trainee discharge for unadaptability. Throughout the episode, Davis tries to recruit Alex P. Keaton into the Airborne Accounting Corps, which messes up the enemies books. Alex puts him off by pretending to have a trick knee.
