Ernie lines up Doberman and the enlisted men to teach the wives how to dance. Things begin to fall apart when Mrs. Hall mentions the upcoming Pentagon Ball to General Mullins' wife, and she and the General don't know about it. Soon everyone is on to the scam and looking for Bilko. With a little advance warning from Irma, Ernie wins the day by posting an announcement about a surprise anniversary dance to be held for the General and his wife, all planned by Colonel Hall. Hall gets the credit, the General gets a dance with Irma, and Bilko gets to push a broom when Hall doesn't get his promotion.
