Plot

The film charts the progress of three cadets from very different backgrounds at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. First they fight about the Academy’s traditions & then the sister of their hapless roommate. It all ends well with the semi-fat head seeing things as they should be. Fade Out to sea.
