Four years of concert party performances in the North African desert during World War 2 come easy compared to the mundane lifestyle following "Demob" .

After a chance meeting the two war buddies decide to follow their dream of stardom and agree to hang on to their battlefield camaraderie and the popularity of their wartime stage routines.
