In post-World War II Germany, American Lieutenant Catherine Gates (Ann Sheridan) and French army officer Henri Rochard (Cary Grant) fall in love and marry. However, on the day they speak their "I dos," Gates's ship sets sail for the States. Rochard succeeds in getting aboard the boat as a "war bride," but, unhappily, he cannot bunk with his new wife due to military regulations. For the life of these two honeymooners, they can't succeed in consummating their marriage, until, one day, the Army sees that strict rules can actually be broken--especially in the name of love. A funny Forces farce, with the classic scene of Cary Grant in drag!
