Private Bill Chandler, also known as "Broadway Bill," has abandoned New York theater to enlist in the Army, where he now produces morale-boosting plays at Fort Bray. At a nearby circus, tightrope walker Daisy Hawkins witnesses the murder of the circus owner by the Drake gang. Although Drake is arrested, his gang plans to kill Daisy so that she cannot testify against him. Daisy escapes to hide with her boyfriend, Private J. Wethersby "Pinky" Fothergill, the official pigeoneer stationed at Fort Bray. Still in costume, Daisy first stumbles into one of Bill's auditions, for which the soldiers are dressed as women, and he assumes that she is yet another masquerading soldier. Because she seems to be the only talented singer, Bill agrees to help hide Daisy. Bill and Pinky cut her hair, give her a soldier's uniform and call her "Private Omstock," and Daisy soon becomes the hit of her unit because she is a sharpshooter. (official distributor synopsis)
