Sergeant Bilko #18

In "null," Sergeant Bilko hatches another scheme, convincing Colonel Hall’s wife that her husband’s promotion to General hinges on his social finesse—especially at the upcoming Pentagon Ball. With a wink and a nod, Bilko steers the colonel to dance lessons at the studio run by his girlfriend Irma, all while secretly filming the lessons with a hidden camera.

In "null," Ernie uses a photo of Hall in Irma's arms to convince more officers to pay up for the program, only to be interrupted by a frantic call from Irma—Bilko’s needed at the school. Outside, a mob of officers’ wives has gathered with picket signs, all demanding dance lessons of their own.

In "null," Ernie orchestrates a high-stakes dance lesson for the wives, but when Mrs. Hall accidentally reveals the Pentagon Ball to General Mullins’ wife—only for the General to claim he had no idea—the whole scheme starts to unravel. With the entire base on the hunt for Bilko, a clever twist involving a surprise anniversary dance saves the day, leaving Hall with the credit, the General with a dance, and Bilko with his usual broom duty.
