Synopsis
Best friends Max Mendelsson (Keith Gordon) and Perry Barnett (Wally Ward) are sent to military school after one prank too many. Max, the real troublemaker and loudmouth ("We're cadets! That's like a step up from musketeers!"), begins plotting ways to get out while Perry realizes that it's time for him to straighten up. Trouble begins when Russian cadets visit the school and begin wargames that the school isn't ready for.
