A nostalgic journey across World War II America at the height of the big-band era. Among the recruits the war veterans, innocent young lovers and black marketeers aboard a New York bound train from the West we find the DePaul Sisters, a singing due in search of a third voice and show business success. How they all survive the journey and how the DePauls cope when the third voice they recruit turns out to be a Nazi spy unfolds in a celebration of a by-gone era, an era when there were things worth fighting for and the people of a whole nation became one as they strived toward a common goal.
