Grant plays the pompous army officer who meets a sassy American lieutenant whilst on a mission in France. Mutual loathing soon turns to love, but he then discovers that to follow his bride back to the USA and consummate their interrupted wedding night he must fill in a million forms, wander disconsolately from barrack to barrack in search of a bed and, final humiliation, invoke The War Brides Act to beat the nightmarish bureaucracy. A refreshingly irreverent comedy.
