Sgt. Ernie Bilko is the ultimate con man. He runs the motor pool at a small Kansas US Army Camp. Colonel Hall, nominally in charge of the base tries to keep Bilko's plans in check. Bilko runs every money making scheme that he thinks he can pull off. Midnight cruises on Landing Craft, Tank Rides, Poker games, and an interesting deal with local service stations for spare parts for jeep tires.



The colonel needs a sergeant to volunteer to check the armoury every day. The request carries the regulation PTP (Personal Transportation Provided). Bilko knows what the acronym stands for and convinces the other sergeants not to volunteer by saying it stands for other things. One sergeant though also knows what PTP means - Sergeant Joan Hogan.
