[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Don Bolton (played by Bob Hope) is a famous Hollywood star who tries to get married in order to avoid the draft, as he feels it will interfere with his career. He falls for Antoinette, a colonel's daughter (played by Dorothy Lamour) and in an attempt to impress her he pretends to enlist in the army, though it turns out that he has in fact enlisted for the real thing, along with his agent and assistant.
Bolton is keen to impress both Antionette and her father during training, however his skills as a soldier prove to be abysmal.
