Two-time Oscar nominee Eddie Albert teams up with Ronald Reagan and Wayne Morris for a spirited, behind-the-scenes look at love, laughter and life's hard-fought lessons within a prestigious Virginia military academy. In his screen debut, Albert defies campus rules by secretly marrying the woman he loves. And as if that isn't risky enough, they are now expecting a baby! Luckily, his fellow cadets, "Brother Rats," come to his aid, and all is smooth until the loyal pals become distracted by local coeds and their own attempts to avoid disciplinary action.
