action

Hit Breath Harry is a popular trumpeter in a jazz club . In the middle of the game, he suddenly received his draft into the Army. He refuses, but a short time later he is part of the Afro-American Company B. As a wind instrument player, he is assigned the horn with which he has to wake the entire company at 5 a.m. When Harry wakes up for the first time, he feels the anger of the tired soldiers. After being pelted with various things, his trumpet literally falls into his lap. He now wakes the soldiers with a jazzy swing and everyone is enthusiastic.

The swing accompanies you to the shower, accompanies the cooks while peeling potatoes and the superiors while eating. Women come by and turn the men's heads while dancing. Swinging, the men finally go to their tents in the evening and go to sleep. Only Harry's silhouette can still be seen - he still blows his trumpet when the moon is full.
