World War II saw the Canadian Navy assemble a diverse group of performers, including dancers, comedians, singers, and musicians, to entertain their comrades and eventually play London's Hippodrome. The troupe's reception was largely due to wartime London's gratitude towards British sons and daughters from abroad, rather than the show's artistic merit or the performers' talent. The film combines fact and fiction, following the adventures of the troupe members and concluding with a performance at the Hippodrome, partially filmed in Technicolor.
