- Harold, a young man worth $20 million, is part of the idle class, and completely specializes in being idle. In his idleness, he has a sense of entitlement and feels entitled to marry a young woman within his social circle who receives several marriage proposals every day. Her businessman father refuses to allow the marriage because of Harold's idleness demonstrating his laziness. So Harold decides not so much to apply but rather just insinuate himself into a job posted on a sidewalk sandwich board: to join the Navy. When he changes his mind to do something more fun--to join his girl, her father and her friends on a sailing trip around the world--he learns it's too late to back out of his three-year Navy enlistment. Despite a rocky start, Harold is able to earn the friendship and respect of the other sailors, even O'Rafferty, the roughest, toughest sailor on his ship, although Harold doesn't get close to achieving an officer's rank as he dreams. But his actions in the Kingdom of Khairpura-Bhandanna, where he has a shore leave, may show his girl and her father, the Kingdom where they are coincidentally docked at the same time, that he truly is worthy of her hand.—Huggo
- An idle, mischievous, wealthy playboy spots the girl he wants to marry. She is willing, but her father, a hardworking steel magnate, disapproves and tells the boy to get a job and prove he can do something other than loaf. The boy takes the first job he sees by joining the Navy, not realizing that it's a job that he can't quit. Although he dreams of being an admiral, he's just a lowly sailor who passes the time swabbing the decks and getting into trouble with the ship's tough guy. Meanwhile, father and daughter take a long trip on their yacht and arrive at the same Indian port as the Navy ship. After other misadventures during shore leave, the boy must try to rescue the girl when she's kidnapped by the local Rajah.—TimeNTide
