When the army holds maneuvers near her home town the factory supervisor organizes a mixer for the largely female workforce and the all-male soldiers. This dance proves a mixed success with many of the soldiers who are middle-aged reservists and many of the factory workers who are inexperienced young women with idealized views of romance being confused by and disappointed with their potential dancing partners.
