Satire sur la Première Guerre mondiale basée sur une comédie musicale du même nom, dépeignant le "Game of War" et se concentrant principalement sur les membres d'une famille (nom de famille Smith) qui partent à la guerre. Une grande partie de l'action du film tourne autour des paroles des chants de marche des soldats, et de nombreuses scènes décrivent certains des incidents les plus célèbres (et infâmes) de la guerre, notamment l'assassinat du duc Ferdinand, la rencontre de Noël entre les Britanniques et les Des soldats allemands dans le no man's land et l'anéantissement à leurs côtés d'une force de soldats irlandais nouvellement arrivés au front, après avoir réussi à capturer une crête longtemps disputée.
