Corporal Tacker arrives home on leave and finds the rented, ramshackle family home teeming with rats and biting insects. When the landlord refuses to correct the conditions of the house, Barry visits the USO, but they can't help either. So, Barry moves his family to a hotel and goes to the landlord for his security deposit back, but the landlord tells him that he must check the place for damages first. When the landlord enters the house, looking for phony repairs to eat up the security deposit, the stairs collapse and he tumbles to the floors, surrounded by rats, and no one to hear him scream!
