Due to the wartime man shortage, formerly idle Jean Howard becomes a sales representative for her father's oil-drilling equipment company. She's just getting the hang of it when she's stranded in an army-base town with no place to stay...unless she's an Army bride. Unsuspecting Lieut. Mallory is fast-talked into registering as her husband, then finds his commanding officer is living at the same motel; and that's just the start of the complications. Lots of physical comedy. (imdb)
