Summary:
A comedy-drama about life aboard a Navy cargo ship in Pacific waters during WW II. The monotonous non-combat duty of a fun-loving crew is enlivened by a feud between the petty, intolerant captain and an impetuous, highly-respected cargo officer whose continous efforts to get a transfer to combat duty are blocked by the captain.
