During World War II, civil servant Connie Milligan (Jean Arthur) decides to turn the housing shortage in Washington, D.C., to her advantage. But when she rents out her four-room apartment to two men -- aging millionaire Benjamin (Charles Coburn) and young, handsome sergeant Joe (Joel McCrea) -- Connie gets more than she bargained for, including Benjamin taking on the role of matchmaking cupid. George Stevens directs.
