The story

thumb|235px|Full movie In 1917 New York City, actor and dancer Jerry Jones is drafted into the US Army, where he is encouraged by his superiors at nearby Camp Upton to stage a musical revue for boosting morale. The production, Yip Yip Yaphank, which features an all-soldier cast, is a rousing success, but one night orders are received to leave immediately for France; instead of the finale, the troops march up the aisles through the audience, out the theater's main entrance and into a convoy of waiting trucks. Among the teary, last-minute goodbyes, Jerry kisses his newlywed bride Ethel farewell.
