As Captain Binghamton departs for Brisbane, his torpedo boat, PT-116, springs a mysterious leak and sinks. He is forced to use PT-73, in the charge of Ensign Parker in the absence of McHale, the skipper. In Brisbane, Binghamton restricts the crew to the boat, but they are befriended by the crew of a nearby Russian merchant vessel. The Russians try to use PT-73 to smuggle Australian whiskey. In the midst of an aimless celebration in which both crews participate, two Russian NKVD officers come aboard. After mix-ups involving uniforms, Lieut. Wilbur Harkness, pilot son of an Army Air Force general officer, is found in a Russian outfit and is carted away as a spy. Parker, who has replaced his Soviet togs with the nearest uniform--Wilbur's--is forced to impersonate Wilbur and is given the rank of Army captain. Later, while in a control tower with WAC "Smitty" Smith, Parker accidentally turns on the air raid warning at the very moment a Japanese air squadron is about to make a sneak attack. For his heroism, Parker is again promoted--to Army major. When he and Binghamton are suspended in their jeep in midair by an airplane, they spot a Japanese fleet; and with an early warning, they aid an Allied victory. Parker becomes a national hero--despite the protests of Lieutenant Harkness, now released--and speeds his way to Washington to be decorated by President Roosevelt.

| User ReviewHotLips 7What?? Tim Conway!! Have you ever seen him NOT FUNNY?? A Real Classic!!! |
| User ReviewKristy KYou've gotta love Tim Conway. I think this one is even better than the first. |
| User ReviewKim PSuch a cute movie! It was great to see Joe Flynn get top billing for probably the only time in his career, and his chemistry with Tim Conway and Bob Hastings was incredibly evident. Could have made a better use of the cast that were willing to come back for the movie, and make it less of a Laurel& Hardy type vehicle. The plot isn't the strongest, but the comedy sequences really steal the film. |
