“The True Story of TRUDY KOCKENLOCKER, who kissed the Boys Goodbye... REGIMENT BY REGIMENT!”

Trudy Kockenlocker (Betty Hutton) wakes the morning after a farewell party for the soldiers with a ring on her finger and no memory of the man who put it there.

The only person she can lean on is Norval Jones (Eddie Bracken), a nervous, devoted boy who has loved her for years.
