Shipyard worker Bill Swanson writes a wartime play celebrating the American spirit. He meets theatre actress Julie Hampton, visiting the shipyard on a bond drive, and convinces her to read his patriotic opus. Enthusiastic at its potential, Julie is able to get the show produced, but Bill is dismayed when he discovers that its being turned into a musical. Withdrawing his option, he returns to his day job, but Julie isn't to be put off so easily.—Chris Stone

interesting as an historical wartime movie. the plot is not cohesive and lucille ball's forte is not in this kind of role. it's not a good movie, but the entire country was at war and this was a (failed) attempt to lighten the mood. interesting to watch.
