Dan Emmet is a local crooner, and town fire marshal. He loses his job when his girlfriend's house burns down, and it's his fault. He sets out to make it big, and return with enough cash to convince his future father in law to let him marry his daughter. On the riverboat, he falls in with a con man who takes him for all the money he had to his name. The two pair up to entertain in blackface in a theater. They become a big enough hit to play for a run, but is there a new girl in Dan's future?

Across the burning sands, a figure in a tattered uniform emerges. A British officer demands to be put in contact with his superiors, and report the German tanks are on the run. The immediate danger is in hiding from Germans who are outside the door. Posing as a waiter who was recently killed, the officer, actually an American Corporal, assumes the identity to hide out. Complaints from the Italian general about Field Marshal Rommel is heard, but will it be something that can be used to benefit our man when the time is right? Concern is shown that coded messages could be getting sent through laundry hanging on the lines.
