The soldiers are a part of the 100th Canadian Infantry Battalion and are stationed in Toronto before being deployed to the front lines of World War II. As part of a goodwill tour, the soldiers are treated to a night out on the town before being taken to the factory to meet the women who are building the bombs that will help defeat the enemy.
For Gladys, the visit is an opportunity to prove her worth to her colleagues as well as her father, who still doubts her abilities as a female executive.
