"Because the program of inducting draftees is deleting advertising agencies of young men, Nancy has the opportuinty to join a huge Chicago firm while still in college. as her imagination and cleverness are about to win her a coveted place in the copywriting department, a swift plot against her culminates in her being suspected of the crime of 'selling out' to a rival agency. With the aid of her roomates and Dave Knight, her sweetheart who is in training at the Great Lakes Naval Academy, Nancy is able to expose the plot and give invaluable assistance to her country in the dark hours of that tragic Sunday, December 7, 1941 when Japan made her dastardly attack on Pearl Harbor."
