Maggie
Бывший яхтсмен, а ныне лейтенант американской армии, поверив радужным обещаниям, отправляется командовать «Самым дурацким кораблем в армии» — грудой металлолома с командой матросов-недотеп. И уж конечно, ни капитан, ни команда не знают, что на их корабль возложена сверхсекретная миссия по спасению союзников, оказавшихся на японской территории…
Peggy
Joe Marsh (Robert Arden) is a U.S. Army captain who goes on the run in Britain after committing murder. He breaks into a family's home and forces 7-year-old Tommy Martin (Richard Williams) to guide his escape through the surrounding rural territory. A bond begins to form between the child and the desperate fugitive, but Marsh's criminal nature cannot help but show itself again before the chase comes to an end.
Rose
A new career opens for Charley Moon when, during his army service, he is detailed to appear in a unit concert. In doing so, he becomes friendly with Harold Armytage, a peacetime actor of the old school. Hearing that Charley has no job to go to when demobilized, Armytage suggests they team up as stage comics. Things are not easy; jobs are few and far between, and when they can be found they are in the tattiest of theatres, but Charley gains the experience he needs. They then decide to try their luck in London.
