The presence of the pretty ladies in the Captain's quarters, now occupied by the Admiral, becomes positively embarrassing - especially when the Admiral's wife arrives! But the scales are turned against the Admiral's wife when it is revealed that she once spent a night aboard a destroyer with ninety-five sailors All ends romantically, happily, comically.
