In January 1944, during
World War II, a naive and inept
Lieutenant Roger Carrington of the
United States Army Air Forces accidentally falls out of a
C-47 when attempting to drop
airborne leaflet propaganda. He lands in
German territory. Escaping pursuing German soldiers, he is hidden by a local
baroness named Marlene. Marlene is against the
Nazis, and sympathizes with Carrington, taking him under her wing to recover, and eventually falling in love with him. When World War II ends, Marlene realizes that Carrington will leave when he finds this out. Not wanting him to go yet, she decides not to tell him about the war ending so he will stay, and she manages to keep him with her for nearly five years, explaining the Allies are continuously losing, then recapturing England. Around then is when Carrington convinces himself that it's his duty to continue fighting on a one man sabotage operation. He leaves Marlene's estate, not realizing he's now in a peacetime country. The only problem is, no one can tell him the war is over because no one around him speaks
English including the Baroness' maid Eva who accompanies him. ==Cast==
