## Plot

[edit]

Jeff (Tom Drake) arrives home to New York City after being away in the Army—and in a POW camp—for several years. When Jeff shipped out, he received an enthusiastic kiss from Jean. Leaping to conclusions, he sent her an engagement ring and for various reasons—which she babbles to her boss—she could never disabuse him. Jeff is unaware that Jean has been promoted far above him and is now a buyer at the department store where they work. He is also unaware that his supposed fiancée is dating Walter Medcraft, also a store employee. Jeff assumes she still intends to marry him. In order to save him from heartache, Jean's boss and several employees at the store set up a ruse to keep Jeff unaware of Jean's new man for the two weeks until he is deployed again. Jean cooperates with the ruse by pretending to work in the stockroom, but it is not long before things going awry, starting with Jeff's desire to get married immediately and the need to persuade the current occupant of her old apartment to move out temporarily.
