Anita is engaged to soldier Eddy, and agrees to wait to marry until he finishes Officer Candidate School. When Eddy returns, he says their wedding will have to be postponed a little longer until he saves up some money: he refuses to let her keep her job at the camp PX to help out after they’re married. Anita discovers Eddy has changed since he’s an officer, and has been dating the colonel’s daughter. The colonel straightens them out: his daughter is already engaged, and Eddy needs to get with the program. Eddy apologizes to Anita and they are reunited.
