Just fifteen years ago today the war finally ended with victory over Japan. In this film, Bob Hope takes as his theme 'Peace, it's Wonderful'.
He tells the story of the five years that followed in America: the rush to demobilise, the beginnings of the cold war, the surprise victory of President Truman in the Presidential Election of 1948, the witch-hunt of the Committee on Un-American Activities, up to the outbreak of a new war - in Korea.
