Summaries

A presumed-dead World War II pilot's last words are misquoted as a declaration of love for his co-worker, forcing him to keep up the ruse when he returns home alive.

In this screwball comedy a WW2 US pilot bombs a Japanese aircraft carrier, is assumed to be dead, and then is misquoted in the press as fondly remembering his days back home walking his dog Piggy. Instead of Piggy, he is thought to be in love with Peggy, a girl he worked with. The usual farce ensues after he returns home alive and tries to play along with the mistake to save embarrassment for all.—pirateking
