Synopsis

Returning to an airbase after a dogfight, in the middle of World War One, Ace boasts about how dumb Fritz was, and discovers that he's landed in the wrong airfield, where Fritz is. Fritz chases Ace back into the sky, where several air chase gags occur. Eventually, Fritz shoots Ace's plane to bits, but Ace pulls the skin of Fritz's plane. Fritz lands, and boasts about how dumb Ace was, when he discovers that he too has landed in the wrong airfield: Ace's to be exact. Fritz curses in German, where a subtitle reads, "My mama told me there'd be days like this."

Production notes

For the scenes of Ace's airfield, live action World War Two stock footage, and stock footage from movies set in World War One were used.

The theme music during the credits of this cartoon is similar to the music played in the 1964 Bugs Bunny cartoon "Dumb Patrol."
