Bilko's School Days
Bilko feels as though there are too many soldiers who are wise to his tactics. He applies for a transfer to another base. Colonel Hall is more than happy to sign it.
Bilko quickly retracts his request when he learns that 1500 new men are going to be transferred to Fort Baxter. Bilko is surprised to learn that the 1500 men due to be transferred to Fort Baxter are all MPs.
The MPs get in the way of Bilko's gambling. He comes up with a new plan. He enrolls in the MP school and proceeds to lock up everyone from his platoon and all other essential services for minor infractions in the hopes of bringing the base to a standstill.
Bilko's plan is for the most part successful. When it looks like the MP school is going to get moved to another base and he is going to have to go with them he comes up with another scheme to allow himself to stay at Fort Baxter.
Frank Marth plays the part of the MP lieutenant. This is the fourth and final episode of this show that he showed up in. He showed up in two episodes of The Invaders, one of which I have seen. He made guest appearances in numerous other shows that I watched when I was younger but I'm not sure how many (if any) of those episodes I have watched.
This is pretty good, much better than most of the other episodes from this season. It is a complex story that has a number of twists and turns but that all work together.
