Famed World War II pin-up girl Betty Grable stars as Lorry, the most popular girl at the USO in a small midwestern town. En route to a new job in Washington, D.C., Lorry, a secretary, takes a detour to New York, where she and a friend crash a ritzy nightclub, and Lorry pretends to be a Broadway star. This provides a backdrop for lavish production numbers, with Grable in gorgeous gowns showing her glorious gams. (Twilight Time)
