Plot summary

Sgt. O'Farrell (Bob Hope) is a G.I. on an island somewhere in the South Pacific during World War II, bemoaning the consequences of a ship torpedoed while ferrying to the island a desperately needed cargo of beer. And among his problems are the Navy personnel making life difficult for himself and his Army buddies; an officer (Hunter) trying to emulate John Paul Jones; a hoped-for delivery of morale-boosting nurses turning out to be six males and the ugliest woman (Diller) ever to wilt a bouquet of flowers; and a Japanese soldier (Mako) who's hiding from everyone else...and hiding something else as well.
