Buck Privates is a 1928 American silent comedy film directed by Melville W. Brown and starring Lya De Putti, Malcolm McGregor, and Zasu Pitts.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] John Smith left Yale University to make the world safe for democracy.

To make matters worse, the village officials agree to shear the hair of any of their daughters found fraternizing with American soldiers.

To shield Smith from punishment, Anne allows the authorities to believe that the man seen with her in the garden was the tough American top sergeant whom she despises.

Anne escapes in a soldier’s uniform while her ugly maid puts on the bridal veil and marches to the altar in her stead.
