Comedy team Wheeler and Woolsey are American GIs in Paris during WWI. They go AWOL so that they can pursue local pretty ladies. Woolsey unknowingly falls in love with a general's daughter, a flirty Dorothy Lee, while Wheeler falls for the general's lover. The jokes never stop in this fast paced, slightly vulgar, vehicle for the two comedians, who are at the top of their game. Includes a couple of breaks for songs and dancing, including a memorable one involving Wheeler in a fountain.
