First in War

The story begins with Charley (Charley Chase) trying unsuccessfully to sell a song. However, shortly after, a revolutionary comes to the publishers....looking for someone to write a national anthem for Nicarania. He loves Charley's song and buys it.

Soon you learn that Charley is in the Army and was caught by his commanding officer at the publisher's...instead of in uniform back at the base.. He is taken back to unit and soon they are sent to Nicarania! Once there, he unwittingly becomes part of the revolution!

While I'd never consider this one a classic, it is fun and kind of weird. Plus, it gives you a chance to hear Charley sing...and he had a very nice voice.
