Having been discharged from the Marines for a hayfever condition before ever seeing action, Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith (Eddie Bracken) delays the return to his hometown, feeling that he is a failure. While in a moment of melancholy, he meets up with a group of Marines who befriend him and encourage him to return home to his mother by fabricating a story that he was wounded in battle with honorable discharge. They make him wear a uniform complete with medals and is pushed by his new friends into accepting a Hero's welcome when he gets home where he is to be immortalized by a statue that he doesn't want, has songs written about his heroic battle stories, and ends up unwillingly running for mayor. Despite his best efforts to explain the truth, no one will listen. 译文(2): 伍德罗 · 拉斐特 · 潘兴 · 特鲁斯密斯(埃迪 · 布莱肯饰)在参加行动之前就因为花粉热病退伍了，他觉得自己是个失败者，因此推迟了回家的时间。正当他郁闷的时候，他遇到了一群海军陆战队员，他们和他成了朋友，并且编造了一个他在战斗中受伤光荣退伍的故事，鼓励他回到母亲身边。他们让他穿上带有勋章的制服，在他的新朋友的推动下，当他回到家时，他接受了英雄式的欢迎，在那里，他将被一个他不想要的雕像永垂不朽，有关于他的英雄战斗故事的歌曲，最终不情愿地竞选市长。尽管他尽了最大的努力去解释真相，但是没有人愿意听。
