Returning veteran Johnny Gray (Franchot Tone) is about to be married when a pretty British woman, Amy Atkins (Ann Richards), shows up at his doorstep. To his shocked disbelief the young lady claims that Johnny is her husband and the father of her darling twins. Making matters worse, the panic-stricken man knows that he had amnesia while in London during the war, but has no memory of what might have happened.
A frantic Johnny tries to prove that Amy has the wrong guy, but slowly discovers that he might not mind being the right one. His marriage plans now in shambles, the hapless fellow spirals into a frenzied confusion. Just as he begins to love the children in spite of the crisis, Amy springs yet another bombshell.
