In post-World War II Allied-occupied Germany, French Army Captain Henri Rochard is tasked with recruiting a skilled lens maker named Schindler. Assigned American Lieutenant Catherine Gates as his driver, their mutual discomfort leads to many clashes. The only available transportation is a motorcycle, with Catherine as the only allowed driver and Henri in the sidecar. After a series of mishaps, they arrive at Bad Nauheim.
At the hotel, Catherine accepts Henri’s back rub offer due to back pain. When she falls asleep, Henri tries to leave but gets trapped inside when the door handle falls off. The innkeeper’s wife helps Henri hide outside the window and explains everything to Catherine after he falls off the ledge.
Henri goes undercover to find Schindler in the black market, urging Catherine not to reveal her knowledge of him. With a raid by authorities, Henri is arrested and Catherine seeks Schindler’s help to leave Germany. Apologies and love blossom as they return to Heidelberg.
Red tape requires Henri and Catherine to marry civilly first before choosing separate ceremony styles. Catherine is ordered back to the United States, and Henri can only join as a “war bride” under the War Brides Act. Many misunderstandings and obstacles prevent them from spending the night together.
Boarding the transport ship proves challenging as Navy sailors do not accept Henri as a war “bride”. Catherine’s idea to dress him as a female Army nurse succeeds momentarily, but their ruse is eventually discovered. The ship’s captain resolves their situation, granting them privacy in the ship’s brig.
