Although Stevens is a trifle too All-American and anxious, his voice as narrator in some flashback scenes is far more pleasing. Leo Genn is appropriately noble as the young healer who must fight his boss over methods for Miss de Havilland's cure. He is strong, intelligent, calm, and quite impressive...

When the leathernecks land on the island in a peaceful invasion, the only real foe they encounter is the girls' prim and proper father (Leo Genn), a plantation owner who is determined to protect his unkissed daughters from the advances of the enemy. But nature takes its course, and the three fun-loving girls (Joan Elan, Audrey Dalton, Dorothy Bromiley) find romance with three personable marines (Gene Barry, Don Taylor, Peter Baldwin).
