Synopsis

Born on the day his father died a hero in WWI, Woodrow Layfayette Pershing Truesmith enlists proudly when WWII begins. Although anxious to serve his country, Woodrow is quickly discharged because of his chrinic hay fever. Ashamed to return to his home and his girlfriend, he takes a shipyard job while his buddies forward home his letters from the "Pacific". How the "conquering hero" overcomes his friends, his hometown's political cronies and the mayor's son makes for another great Preston Sturges satire on the America penchant for hero worship.
