A Southern Yankee

Eager but inept bellhop Aubrey Filmore (Red Skelton) wants to help the Union defeat the Confederate forces. When a series of events finds Aubrey pretending to be infamous Southern spy Major Jack Drumman (George Coulouris), better known as "The Grey Spider," plenty of espionage-related antics ensue. As Aubrey attempts to get secret information to his Northern comrades, he also does his best to woo the lovely Sallyann (Arlene Dahl), a dainty Southern belle.
