It is just after the end of World War II in the new communist state Czechoslovakia, and the powers that be have decreed that the state will maintain a sizeable army. This spoof follows the adventures of one non-combatant regiment, the Black Barons, who spent the entire wartime period working in a quarry. Now they are attempting to behave like proper communist soldiers, but even the officers haven't got even the vaguest notions of Marxist doctrine. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
