Abbott & Costello star as Smokey Adams & Pomeroy Watson, two naval recruits who are friends with popular crooner Tommy Halstead(played by Dick Powell) who, in a desperate attempt to escape from his over-adoring fans, enlists in the navy. He tries to remain anonymous, but a determined female journalist sneaks aboard disguised as a sailor, but is later uncovered. Guess what happens next? Meanwhile, Smokey & Pomeroy have their own misadventures... Disappointing comedy just isn't that funny, despite using some of their successful routines, this is just a slight and forgettable variation on their far more successful earlier "Buck Privates". The Andrews Sisters also costar here.
