Master Sgt Quentin Q. Benton, aka Beast, threatens to ruin things for Bilko after he is transferred to Fort Baxter. He starts pushing everyone around as soon as he arrives. He even gets some money off of Bilko.
Bilko tries explaining what's going on in Sgt Benton's head y ohis men but they don't follow his explanation. Bilko comes up with a plan to get Beast to leave. It plays on Sgt Benton's lack of understanding of life insurance policies.
Thoughts
I didn't care for the way that PTSD was used for laughs in this episode. I was also disappointed to see made up words that were supposed to sound like Japanese used to generate laughs.
I liked the way the episode began. I liked the set up. Bilko's solution was a little too simplistic to satisfy me. It was also played in such a way that it felt like they were holding the audience's hand throughout. There was not enough show and a little too much tell.
