When Danny finds himself the target of snide remarks made by his fellow officers, he discovers Maggie asked her father to use his influence to keep his son-in-law based in the States instead of being shipped overseas. Maggie's attitude changes and she befriends some of the other wives, particularly Shirley ( Gale Robbins), who is married to Danny's best friend Lt. Her mood softens when she learns Jerry's husband was killed in battle overseas and she has remained at the hotel to honor his memory. Increasingly upset with her situation, she lashes out at hotel manager Mrs. Not helping her situation is an obvious lack of any domestic skills that would allow her to assist in the daily routine at the hotel. Unaware of what is expected of her in her new capacity of army wife, Maggie quickly becomes an outcast among the other women. Initially Maggie is too happy to care, but once the newlywed is left alone during the day while her husband is on the base, she begins to become disenchanted with her surroundings and the lack of service her privileged background has groomed her to expect. When their accommodations are ready, Maggie arrives with her wealthy parents Henry and Vera ( Eugene Pallette and Mary Nash), who are unhappy about the living conditions their daughter will be forced to endure. Due to limited wartime housing, Army lieutenant Danny Ferguson ( Frank Latimore) and fiancée Maggie Preston ( Jeanne Crain) must postpone their wedding until a room in the Craig Hotel, where married officers stationed at nearby Camp Fielding live with their wives, becomes available.
