Plot

Dixie Leonard is chosen to perform at an overseas USO Christmas show by her uncle Art Silver, a comedy writer for famed comedian Eddie Sparks. Dixie is shuttled to London, where she is thrown on-stage with Eddie, who takes an immediate dislike to her. But her performance is a sensation, and the audience can't stop howling at Dixie's smart one-liner comebacks to Eddie. Dixie is catapulted to stardom, and the repartee between Eddie and Dixie becomes the stuff of legend. The two spar together through World War II, the McCarthy era, and Vietnam.
