In this minor serio comedy, a war hero, Cpl. Marion Scott (Dave “Tex” O’Brien), returns home following a medical discharge and gets romantically involved with a rich young woman Kay Aldridge (Wilhelmina Hammond) speeding away from her wedding day in her fiance’s car.
Seeing the serviceman, she gives him a ride and explains her predicament. The cops capture them and accuse the soldier of desertion, but, not to worry, the tale ends happily
