An officer's wife has a romantic dream about her husband's man (servant) and comes to believe it is true. Meanwhile the husband has asked his servant to help him, after the war, to suggest ways to ignite the romance he and his wife had before the war, as well as find a way to make money in a post-war economy.

It's quite a simple story this, and rather amusing in a light-hearted sort to fashion too. Guy Middleton ("Maj. Gilbert") returns from the war a bit zonked. All he really wants is his pyjamas and a long nap! During the night, though, his somewhat underwhelmed wife "Carol" (Googie Withers) has a dream. Not about her husband, but about his handsome batman "Jackson" (Griffith Jones). The dream is so realistic that when she wakes up in the morning she cannot understand why "Jackson" is not showing her any attention at all. There is a strong supporting cast, and a degree of chemistry between Withers and Jones that keeps this slightly far-fetched, but nonetheless entertaining bit of fluff flowing as the hapless sergeant and her husband have to deal with her frequently erratic behaviour. It is a typical post-war feel-good film, that raises a smile and comfortably passes 90 minutes.
