In a quiet American town during World War II, a young and lively woman named Trudy Kockenlocker finds herself caught in a whirlwind of confusion and romance. After a night out with a group of soldiers, Trudy returns home with an unexpected secret that troubles her: she is pregnant, but has no idea who the father is. To complicate matters further, her brother, not overly sensible, becomes entangled in a plan to try and help her, while rumors and gossip in the town start to spread like wildfire.
Under the pressure of society and her own family, Trudy and her brother must face the need to discover who the mysterious father is and create a believable story that will save them from shame. All of this unfolds amidst comedic situations that include disguises, railway mishaps, and a series of misunderstandings that test the loyalty and ingenuity of the young woman.
As a reflection of its time, the film blends elements of screwball comedy with a social commentary on gender expectations and morality during wartime. With a bold and humorous approach, it questions the notion of the "hero" and celebrates the bravery of youth even in the most unusual circumstances. A marathon of laughter, love, and a touch of madness, it becomes an unforgettable cinematic experience.
