Premise

The wealthy Ferguson family are planning a quiet Christmas at their home in the countryside of southern England. A series of disruptions begin with the arrival of the married elder daughter Brenda, who has fled her London home after a row with her husband. This is followed successively by Millie, a WAAF NAAFI girl who used to be a servant in the house, now being billeted there, and then Bill, a Canadian soldier Bill from a nearby base, who is sent by his Colonel as a punishment for getting into fights with British troops in answer to a goodwill invitation from Mrs Ferguson.

The scatty Mrs Ferguson expected the Colonel himself to arrive himself but takes Bill's arrival in her stride. Fear that the family will have no bird to cook for Christmas dinner is dispelled when they are deluged by gifts of turkeys from several different sources, ending up with far too many. Phoebe, the younger daughter of the house, had been previously showing some interest in their lodger Ronnie, a scientist. Having doubts about his offer of marriage, she develops a sudden infatuation with the strong, easygoing Canadian Bill. This provokes rivalry with Millie who is also attracted to Bill. The sardonic Ronnie finds himself pushed aside, and even when he saves Bill's life rescuing some mail stolen by a criminal gang, he allows the Canadian to be hailed as a hero and himself as a coward. Things come to a head after a dance at the Canadian base. Phoebe spends a long time in Bill's room, from which several other characters, particularly Millie and Mrs Ferguson, draw the worst implications. In fact they have just been talking things over. Before long Phoebe realises she really does love Ronnie. Brenda is then reconciled with her husband who arrives from London with yet another turkey.

In a postwar epilogue, Bill is back in Saskatoon, where he and Millie have been happily married for several years.
