"Donald Duck" (voiced by Clarence Nash), "Sergeant Pete" (voiced by Billy Bletcher).

Director: JACK KING. Screenplay: Carl Barks, Jack Hannah. Color by Technicolor. Producer: Walt Disney.

Copyright 7 September 1943 by Walt Disney Productions. U.S. release through RKO-Radio Pictures: 5 November 1943. 1 reel. 6 minutes.

COMMENT: The old army game of course is sneaking out of barracks and sneaking back in again.

Donald attempts to fool Sergeant Pete firstly with a phonograph record and then by playing an amusing variant on the old shell game with himself as the pea.

At this point, the cartoon then unexpectedly takes a rather grisly turn with a macabre, grotesque sequence of mutilation and attempted suicide that is not only highly unsuitable for children but adults as well.
