Synopsis

In Drinking Water, the third commandment is "Thou shall not drink water from any source other than that designated..." but Mac uses all the water in his canteen, and then bakes under a sun drawn as a caricature of Japanese Prime Minister Tojo. When given the chance, Mac jumps into a stream contaminated with a gorilla, 'dead Japs,' and a native village's latrine.

The film ends with Mac's feet digging a trench via his frequent trips to the head (the Navy's term for a toilet or latrine).
