Joseph Fields
Several women, wives, ex-wives, and wives-to-be, are assembled in Washington with their men, who are in or trying to get in, the Armed Services. Many are involved in divorce proceedings with provides much of the fun, since each applicant is being screened by the Secret Service. The system of rationing hotel accommodations leads to complications and the most unexpected mix-ups when one couple after another arrives in rooms still occupied by other, who refuse to be evicted. Government messengers, Generals, and Admirals come and go, business men after fat war contracts, distracted hotel managers, add to the hilarity, and-then there is Sergeant Natalia, Yugoslav guerrilla fighter whose fantastic exploits as a soldier have made her internationally famous. Her efforts to learn American ways and her successful efforts to effect the marriage of one of the American couples by bringing in Father Nicholai, a compatriot of hers who performs the ceremony, caps the climax.
