A 1946 training film with deadpan Staff Sergeant Young with lots of morse key sounds, interrupted by "comedy," such as a woman with a gun and a large plastic hand. The film ends with the morse code for "V," taken from the familiar four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, a device used in other wartime films. Basic message gets across: ya gots ta have rhythm if you're sending morse code.
