Coo-coo

The Pigeon That Took Rome lays a heap of small eggs that scramble surprisingly well. Coo-coo comedy is intended, and Pigeon gets off to a flying start as two G.I.s (Charlton Heston and Harry Guardino) sneak into Nazi-controlled Rome disguised as priests. Their mission: to spy on the Germans and send their reports out by carrier pigeon. Unfortunately, the priests meet a couple of broads (Elsa Martinelli and Gabriella Pallotta), and the pigeons meet with fowl play--they end up in a pot. Next day a sneaky schoolboy steals a fresh flock of pigeons from Gestapo headquarters.

When released, the stool pigeons fly straight home to the Gestapo with the messages meant for Allied intelligence.

But never mind. In the last reel the enemy pigeons come home to roost. On the whole, a good-natured and harmless attempt to give everybody the bird.
