Steve, their son has just returned home after two years in the South Pacific. He has not returned, however, to the calm, quiet atmosphere he had dreamed of while away. Instead, he finds himself at a loss to know just how to handle his family. Steve's most perplexing and immediate problem is when he discovers that his mother and Clara, the girl he left behind, have made all arrangements for their immediate marriage. In order to extricate himself from this situation, he decides to pretend that he has been a psycho-neurotic pa- tient and that spells occur without advance warning. The truth of the matter is that Steve, during his absence, has fallen in love with Lt. Shirley Anderson, a navy nurse. To convince Clara and his mother of his serious condition, he pretends to have a relapse in their presence. Then Steve suggests that his former nurse come home to care for him . . . said nurse being Shirley Anderson. Clara consents to this arrangement, only if the nurse stays long enough to teach her how to care for Steve herself. When Shirley arrives on the scene, it becomes a free-for-all between the two girls.
