Summary
Picture this: it's right after World War I, and two American soldiers, Louis Hozenozzle and Rodney Ramsbottom, are chilling in Switzerland. Ramsbottom's got his eye on a local girl, Colette, and when he gets pulled away, he leaves Hozenozzle in charge of keeping her safe. But then, a local general, who also wants Colette, decides to invent a bizarre law saying all single women must get married. This, predictably, throws everyone into a frantic mess of mistaken identities and forced vows.
Synopsis
Louis Hozenozzle and 2d Lieut. Rodney Ramsbottom, two American soldiers, are stationed in Switzerland after World War I. Ramsbottom is in love with Colette, a pretty Swiss girl, and when he receives orders to leave Switzerland he orders Hozenozzle to remain there to protect Colette. General Lavoris, a Swiss, also desires Colette, but she spurns him. Returning home, he has a fake order issued stating that all unmarried women must immediately take husbands. At her request, Hozenozzle marries Colette. Ramsbottom then receives a letter from General Lavoris telling him that he has been double-crossed, and the lieutenant immediately returns to Switzerland and challenges Hozenozzle to a duel. Colette intercedes, explaining that she married only to save herself from Lavoris. The mayor grants Colette a divorce from Hozenozzle, but all the suitors lose her to a handsome young major.
