It is World War II and Jim Colter has joined the army, leaving his wife, Tillie, behind. Whilst he is away, she meets and falls for Ted Purvis, the local ladykiller and a draft dodger. When Jim’s sister writes to him informing him of what is happening, he breaks out of camp without leave and sets off to find his wife. With the military on his tail and his wife involved with an ex-boxer, he faces a struggle to preserve his marriage.
