Details

Two officers wager that their lovers would be faithful while they're away, and decide to test them. Faking a sudden departure to battle they return disguised to try and seduce each other's partners. The results quickly get out of hand. It's 1943: the Allies are sweeping up Italy, but there's tough resistance. Back in Sicily a group of E.N.S.A. artistes has set up camp to entertain the troops on leave. Two of the stars are sisters, passionately in love with two young British officers.
