Danny Kaye plays an Army private with a gift for imitation. The British use him to impersonate an officer being threatened by Nazi spies. Kaye, a teetotaler with a host of allergies and other medical problems, takes over the personal life of a womanizing alcoholic. Later, he is kidnapped and brought to Berlin, where he is chased by clumsy Nazis. Kaye tries hard, but his romance with Dana Wynter is contrived, the Germans are stereotypes but worst of all it is simply not funny.
