Actress Rosie Winter and her friend Jayne return from their World War II USO tour with heavy hearts. Jayne's fiance Billy died in combat, and Rosie's boyfriend Jack is not only charged with desertion, he's also in love with another woman. New York, too, seems sadly changed. Jayne cannot deal with the knowledge that everything Billy told her was a lie, and is reluctant to return to her old boyfriend, mobster Tony. Neither woman can get a job, and Rosie suspects that they've been blacklisted by a gangster she thwarted. Their friend Al, on the run from two different gang leaders, needs their help, and Jack's new fiancee begs Rosie to help get him out of the depression his war injuries have caused. Soon Rosie has told lies to so many of her friends and enemies that she can't keep them straight without a script.
