Adapted from Irving Berlin's Broadway production similarly titled This Is the Army, the big screen version employs Jerry Jones (George Murphy) as an entertainer in a show called Yip Yip Yaphank, which is performed entirely by soldiers during World War I. In an unfortunate turn of events, Jerry is wounded in battle, and his dance career is sadly cut short. Wanting to remain in show business, he turns to producing. Then when the U.S. becomes involved in World War II, Jerry decides to put on his own all-soldier revue entitled This Is the Army. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
