It seems that the 104 bachelors stationed there for the past seven months are going utterly stir crazy.

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…
