I thank the other reviewer for giving an explanation as to why this film is only 53 minutes long.Can I suggest that a more plausibly explanation is that the film was subsequently reissued as the bottom half of a double bill and chopped down to its current length,with the remainder being thrown away.This would be the only reason to explain why the film becomes so choppy in its later stages.there is the subplot where Jewel and Warris go to collect the mad deserter from the police station.Next we see them they are in the countryside ,the deserter has a gun and is firing at them.Jewl and Warris disappear for the finale when the stealing sub plot comes to the fore.It is interesting to see Jewl and Warris in action,but it is a bit surprising that audiences still had an appetite for soldiering comedies 4 years after the end of the war.
