In the small town of Morgan's Creek, Trudy Kockenlocker (Betty Hutton) likes to dance with the soldiers going off to war. Norval Jones (Eddie Bracken) would love to be a soldier but he can never pass the physical. Single father Constable Edmund Kockenlocker (William Demarest) refuses to let his girls Trudy and Emmy (Diana Lynn) go to the party. Trudy tricks her father and uses Norval as a cover to go to the party. The next morning, she wakes up pregnant and married but don't know who's the guy. Emmy suggests Trudy should marry poor sap Norval. Then it's loopy schemes, all kinds of cops, arrest, a reluctant escape and sextuplets. It's utter mayhem.
The censors must have taken a bribe. The story is outlandish and inappropriate for its time. Trudy starts off not very well liked and that does stop some of the comedy in the beginning. She wins me over when she starts stuttering. For the first time, she and Norval match. They become believable as a couple. They're both idiots and they're still funny even today.
