S1.E3 ∙ Die Juwelen des Scheichs

A group of friends embark on a series of misadventures in an attempt to break their Iraqi War Veteran buddy out of his traumatized shell.

When Porter McGraff, a war-weary Army engineer stationed in Afghanistan, receives an unexpected, four-day pass from his commanding officer, he wastes no time, hopping a transport to Europe with his crude side-kick, Jackson Offenbach, reluctantly in tow. His plan is to surprise his girlfriend, beautiful photographer Agnes Walker, at her first art show in the heart of Paris. He arrives with a mere 24 hours to hopefully cement their oft-discussed marriage plans and still get back to Kandahar base... Armed with a diamond ring, he arrives in the 'City of Light,' a fish out of water with little time to spare. He easily succeeds in his mission, but, as it turns out, she has a few pretty good surprises of her own.

Hearing that the United States has just declared war on Germany, Bill Durham hurries to a recruiting station to enlist, but because he has flat feet, he is rejected. He falls in love with Barbara Knowles, whose guardian, August Myers, unknown to Barbara, is a German agent. When Bill learns that Myers plans to stir up trouble on the border of the United States and Mexico, he catches the train to New Mexico and routs out Myers' gang of bandits. Meanwhile, Myers has sent Barbara back to New York to be married to German spy Carl Vogel. Bill returns East and arrives at the church just in time to dispose of the German bridegroom and marry Barbara himself.
