Buffalo Soldiers
Study of military life away from war, set in a US army base outside Stuttgart, months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Ray is an army supplies clerk who indulges in selling on the black market and drug peddling, while running rings round his superiors. However, he meets his match in new sergeant, a Vietnam veteran who is intent on cleaning up the patch. When Ray falls in love with the sergeant's daughter, further problems ensue.
