A group of women volunteer for nursing duty in France during WWI. Babs and Joy fall in love with handsome young aviators, Wally and Robin, respectively. While Joy receives a marriage proposal, Wally makes it clear he is not interested in a long term commitment with Babs. Situations aren't always as they seem, however, and both girls have a lot to learn. This pre-code drama deals frankly with the issue of sex and mortality during wartime conditions. Although it has some of the static feel of an early talkie and skims over some relevant events in the story it is still an interesting and entertaining film.
