Tom Neal is drafted in the army and winds up at a post in the desert. He bets his bunkmates that he can get women, and heads off. By forging orders, he gets a bunch of WACs led by Lieutenant Iris Adrian assigned to the post, and musical numbers ensue.
It's a Lippert production directed by Reginald Leborg, so I wasn't expecting much. Neal spends most of the time grumpy, and Miss Adrian, although a fine farceur, does likewise. On the other hand, the musical numbers include some good dancing, and Jimmy Dodd sings a few numbers well; he had appeared in soundies under Leborg's direction. Eventually it all ends clumsily, but there's some fun along the way. Jack Greenhalgh's cinematography was, for once, not ruined by muddy prints.
