L'histoire se déroule pendant les derniers jours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le Lieutenant Roger Carrington (Ken Berry), un soldat de l'US Air Force, subit une avarie en plein vol et est forcé de se poser en territoire allemand. Il est caché par Marlene (Eva Garbor), une baronne locale qui est par chance contre les Nazis. Elle sympathise avec Carrington, le prend sous son aile pour mieux le cacher, et finalement tombe amoureuse du soldat. Malheureusement, lorsque la guerre prend fin, elle se rend compte que Carrington va repartir. Elle décide alors de ne pas lui dire la vérité afin qu'il puisse rester à ses côtés. Ce petit stratagème va durer cinq ans, jusqu'à ce que Carrington décide qu'il est de son devoir de continuer le combat et sort du domaine de Marlene, sans se rendre compte qu'il est maintenant dans un pays pacifié : personne ne peut lui dire que la guerre est finie, puisque personne ne parle anglais autour de lui.
