Air Force Colonel Tom Ferris seems to have the perfect life. The assistant attaché to a general, he is extremely efficient at his job, is well respected and thus in line for a big promotion, and has been married for 14 years to a beautiful wife, the former Lieutenant Julietta Perodi, whom he met when she was a military nurse. However, their marriage is not perfect as Julie is feeling neglected, being in her mind the second priority in Tom's life after his job and career advancement. Tom's home life is threatened when into their lives returns Colonel Tank Martin, who Tom and Julie have not seen since before their wedding. Tank and Tom were fellow fighter pilots during the Korean War and rivals for the affections of women, including Julie, who would admit to loving both men at the time. Julie ended up with Tom instead of Tank in part because of some destroyed information. Tank and Tom played games of one-upsmanship when it came to getting the girl, and these might start up all over again in order to win Julie for good.—Huggo
