Hope tangles with a frozen-faced sergeant (Eddie Mayehoff) and an apoplectic general, gets seasick watching his protege, MP Mickey Rooney, box on board a battleship, masterminds a championship fight via walkie-talkie and falls for Rooney's beautiful aunt (Marilyn Maxwell), easily the best-looking aunt of the year.
