- Three women in three different situations report for induction at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and end up roommates. What follows is a frothy and fun musical.
- Three young ladies sign up for some kind of training at a naval base. However, their greatest trouble isn't long marches or several weeks in a small boat, but their love life.—Mattias Thuresson
- Mary Kate Yarbrough, Whitney Young, and Una Yancy come from vastly different backgrounds, but it's one of the similarities between all three, a marriage that doesn't happen for each, that leads to they individually deciding to enlist in the US Navy's Women's Reserves, better known as the WAVES: Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. Mary Kate, a small town proverbial wallflower, is running away from the memory of being stood up at the altar as she foresaw being a wife and mother as her life, and Whitney is running away from her too easy privileged life where she gets almost everything she wants and has the chutzpah to ask for it if she doesn't, while Una is running specifically to a navy man, the two who just never seem to be able to connect despite being "engaged". The three end up being roommates in the ten week training at the Great Lakes Center outside of Chicago solely assigned alphabetically by surname, and despite their differences have the other two's backs. Watching out for the other largely centers on their man issues, or now lack of men. As Mary Kate and Una deal with their fiancés, ex in Mary Kate's case, Whitney has her sights set on another, arguably one that she can't have at least in this instance at Great Lakes.—Huggo
- Three friends have had too many man troubles. Society girl Whitney Young had planned to marry, but left her fiancé at the altar. On the other hand, timid small towner Mary Kate Yarbrough was jilted on her wedding day, while brassy Brooklynite Una Yancy hopes to find a husband. They decide to join the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) in the United States Naval Reserve. They spend ten weeks of training in boot camp, checking out every eligible male and eventually each decides on a sailor to pursue.—fkelleghan@aol.com
