Audio is excellent.
The girls are planning on an overnight trip with their Brownie troop. They look smart in their uniforms, but the late waking Phil thinks they’ve been drafted. Willie has even outfitted himself in a uniform to go with the girls on the outing. Willie has the kids fall into formation, and drills them on how to march. When Willie sprains his ankle, Phil is recruited to take the girls. Alice sings, Skip to My Loo.
Now it’s Phil’s turn to put on the regulation camp uniform, just in time to be teased by Remley. Can he blackmail Frankie into joining him? The marchers set out to the tune of American Patrol. A song that doesn’t have lyrics, but Phil seems to have written some for the occasion.
Lagging behind the marching girls, Alice takes them onward. Thinking nobody will be out this early, and see them in their outfits, Phil and Frankie get noticed by Julius. The trek to the camp site detours to the race track, but will the marchers reach camp before it gets too dark? Or starts to rain? Julius comes to the rescue, and with a secret of where Phil got them lost emerges.
