Albert Tufnell is a seaman on leave to marry Shirley Hornett. His mother-in-law to be causes much strife when she insists on taking charge of the wedding, the guests and the participants. Her behaviour causes Albert to have second thoughts, and Shirley decides that he is secretly having an affair with one of her bridesmaids. As they stumble from one farcical misunderstanding to another, the wedding looks increasingly unlikely.
