Long weeks at the marine base at Quantico, Virginia, had left Mollie as limp as yesterday's lettuce, both physically and mentally. Put plainly Mollie was in no shape to tell a good idea from sheer suicide. When her so called buddy dared Mollie to make a conquest of Dave Talmadge, the base physician's dynamic, handsome brother, her fighting spirit revived but her brain remained in neutral. Mollie could never turn down a challenge, so she set out to win Dave's heart-but she never considered the dangerous consequences of such a foolhardy bet.
