A small-town girl, Trudy Kockenlocker (Betty Hutton), attends a party—against the wishes of her father (William Demarest)—held to entertain soldiers on leave. After a night of dancing and carousing, she remembers little but later discovers she is pregnant.
Her adoring childhood friend, Norval Jones (Eddie Bracken), agrees to marry her. Trudy’s wisecracking teen sister, Emmy (Diana Lynn), is her only other ally.
It has always been considered amazing that Sturges was able to produce a mainstream studio movie in Hollywood about “pre-marital” pregnancy during a period when a tight Production Code was being heavily enforced.
