The story begins in 1823 as the elderly Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) attempts suicide by slitting his throat while loudly begging forgiveness for having killed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) in 1791. Placed in a lunatic asylum for the act, Salieri is visited by Father Vogler (Richard Frank), a young priest who seeks to hear his confession. Salieri is sullen and uninterested but eventually warms to the priest and launches into a long "confession" about his relationship with Mozart.

The film is essentially a two-part program. The first half consists of a romantic comedy storyline involving an aerialist, played by Gene Kelly, who is drafted into the US Army but really wants to join the air force. During training, he falls in love with Kathryn (played by Kathryn Grayson), the daughter of his commanding officer, who has similarly put her singing career on hold in order to serve by providing entertainment for the troops. Unusually for this type of a film (and for this era of Hollywood), the character Kathryn has only recently met her father for the first time since she was a baby, her parents having divorced. A related subplot has Kathryn conniving to get her parents (played by John Boles and Mary Astor) to reconcile. During the first part of the film, Grayson sings several numbers and Kelly performs one of his most famous routines, dancing with a mop as a partner.

Affecté au 647e Dragon de Névreuse-les-Bains, le jeune paysan Ignace Boitaclou, arrive en retard à la caserne où il est sévèrement réprimandé par son adjudant de semaine. Devenu célèbre dans la caserne grâce à une chanson, il est nommé ordonnance du colonel à la place du soldat Philibert. Il séduit Annette, la femme de chambre et devient très vite le confident de Monique, la nièce du colonel. Maladroit, mais homme de cœur, Boitaclou deviendra très vite un soldat modèle. À noter que lors de l'appel des troupes à la caserne, on entend prononcer le nom de Jules Muraire, qui est le vrai nom de Raimu.
