As a wet behind the ears, immature and naive farmboy and country bumpkin, Eddie is initially mocked by his peers for his wholesome ways and trusting manner, eventually however he earns their respect by his courage, honor, friendliness and his ability to be a good teammate and comrade despite not being the most skilled paratrooper.Drama develops when Eddie meets a doeeyed country girl by the name of Jenny May and this provides the then necessary loveinterest for the male lead and a diverting subplot to the main theme of the film. Various ups and downs in the life and training of the main protagonist follow. ........
