Much to the psychologist's chagrin, a scheming corporal (Tony Curtis) with a "personnel file that reads like a stag movie" rigs the raffle and wins the trip. So it's off to Paris for three weeks of fun and romance - and constant supervision by Lieutenant Lauren and a pack of Hollywood press agents who are fighting to keep both the Army's and the movie star's reputations intact! But things get really complicated when the Lieutenant finds herself falling for the hot-blooded corporal...
