Taking advantage of this situation, a production assistant to the Ed Sullivan Show suggests that Conrad sing a new song, “One Last Kiss” to a special fan selected at random so Conrad can bestow one last kiss before Uncle Sam takes him away. The scheme works when a young small town Ohio teenager is declared the winner.
