A vivid look at the wartime conditions that stood society on its head. Kay Walsh had never held a wrench before but you're never too pretty to learn. The women and men that stayed home during World War II worked in the factories that turned out the weaponry to turn the tide of battle.
"In 1941 America Kay and her husband are happy enough until he enlists after Pearl Harbor. Against his wishes, his wife takes a job at the local aircraft plant where she meets Hazel, the singer from across the way to whom they hadn't previously been all that nice. The two soon become firm friends and, with the other girls, become increasingly expert workers able to ride the jibes of the male workforce. As the war drags on Kay finally goes on a date with her trumpet playing foreman and life inevitably starts to get complicated."
