Okay, what was the point of this film?


I just saw it, and I can't figure it out. A guy is pouring glue on girls' heads to keep them from going out with soldiers? The three "pilgrims" figure it out, but then don't turn him him. WTF?

Also, what was the thing on Sgt. Bob Johnson's throat, a pimple? a mole? a wart?

And what were those rags the kids were wearing on their heads? They remind me of what the Gumby characters wore on Monty Python's Flying Circus.
