Sergeant Dan Miller wanted to be a flying ace, but the air force grounded him for poor vision. To make matters worse, when the myopic Miller travels home to Minneapolis on furlough, he finds the local "feather merchants" aka civilians breaking all the wartime rules. Before Sergeant Dan can stop that bell from tolling, he s the most celebrated man in town.
