"Peanuts" Potter comes in last for everything, especially as a jockey. The Army takes him, but he's last at riflery, hikes, and PT. Only good for carrying ammo, he gets lost in a forest and captured by Nazis. They order him to use a former racehorse to carry ammo. Peanuts and "Champ" kick free. Riding hard, Peanuts brings down a tank and a plane. "You'll be the only guy who'll get a medal for coming in late!" Peanuts and Champ: "That goes double!"
