Ellen attends her father Harold's annual Civil War re-enactment outing in which her father plays General Grant. Ellen wants to play a solder, which brings out hostility from the other men and the sadistic drill instructor, Sgt. Timko, who plans to give her a hard time. Things take a turn when Ellen suspects that Harold is having an affair with Betsy, a field re-enactment nurse who fixes more than just fake chest wounds.
