Seven Days' Leave stars hunky Victor Mature as Johnny, a soldier who learns that he's the heir to a family fortune, but must marry a woman from a rival family to collect it. In civilian life, Johnny was a trumpet player with Les Brown's band, which just happens to be performing in New York, providing plenty of opportunity for musical interludes (Buddy Clark, a popular radio singer and recording artist, provided Mature's singing voice, and plays a small non-singing role as one of Mature's pals).
