What happens
Cadet Jerry Dugan, newly arrived at Fair Oaks military academy after years with a circus, is shown around the campus by his roommate Lee. They try on his new dress uniform, learn about demerits and the cement benches honoring each graduating class, and meet Tubby Young and Captain Gardner. At the gym, the upperclassman Red Morrison picks on the young cadet Harold Linwell with a bogus errand, then forces Jerry to apologize after Jerry speaks up for Harold. Jerry comes away deeply disliking Red.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
