"You never hear the one that gets you" is the common wisdom when enemy shells fall. Similarly, Joe Peterson (Holden) never knows what hits him when he meets WAC officer Eleanor MacKay (Nancy Olson). Joe's always been fearless in battle. Now it's tempered by a newfound will to survive. But caution in war can have dire consequences. (official distributor synopsis)
