Baker and Smith are in the Navy with a night’s shore leave in San Franciso. They go to a dance hall where Baker sees his old dance partner, Sherry Martin working as a singer. They join the dance contest and win, which gets Sherry fired. Baker promises to get her a job with a show producer he knows. Meanwhile, Smith rejects Sherry’s schoolish sister Connie, but finds her more attractive after she dolls up. Connie takes Smith home and falls in love with her, but when she mentions marriage, he leaves quickly.

The fleet leaves the next morning. Connie decides to fix up her fathers ship so she can give it to Smith after they are married. Sherry works to get another job without Baker’s help. When the fleet gets back, Baker, thinking he’s helping Sherry, ends up losing her another job. In retaliation, she gets him in trouble with the Navy. Smith takes up with a married woman and ignores Connie. The sisters come up short on the money they need for the ship repairs. Baker decides to help out by staging a show, but is arrested that night. He jumps ship and Smith is sent to arrest him, but lets him put on the show. Smith decides he loves Connie after all and agrees to sail with her after he gets out of the Navy. Baker and Sherry get engaged too, but first Baker has to spend some time in the brig.

Lean plot. The distraction of Smith and Connie’s courtship made us laugh because she spent all this money fixing up the boat and totally counted on marrying Smith after spending two hours with him one night. The dance numbers were fun, although some of the songs were really bad — particularly “Get Thee Behind Me, Satan,” sung by Connie. Mom used to sing one of the songs “I Saw the Sea,” to me when I was a boy. I never knew where it came from, and she had forgotten too. She figures she went to see the movie with her sister when it came out when she was 15.
