First to Fight

One of a series of three-reel shorts (over thirty minutes) from Universal featuring Slim Summerville and Eddie Gribbon as U. S. Marines who go from Marine base to Marine base across the world. This one finds them at Quantico where Slim is the company bugle player and Gribbon the first-sergeant. A conversation between Slim and a girl is picked up by a microphone and broadcast all over the base which leads to complications.
