American troops in Le Mans, France. They congregate in the streets of the town and drink at outdoor cafes. Nice street scenes with troops and French civilians interacting happily. A group of several African American soldiers talk to a French colonial troop; they shake his hand and offer him a cigarette, which he accepts. American nurses look at dresses in a store window. Exteriors and interiors of shops. The exterior and interior of the Bar Americain, where a smiling woman pours drinks for American soldiers. Young French women exiting the palace of justice.
