Plot
After eight months at sea aboard the USS ''Knoxville'', United States Navy sailors Clarence Doolittle and Joseph "Joe" Brady are granted a four-day shore leave in San Diego, which they choose to spend in Hollywood. Joe, an incorrigible womanizer, plans to reunite with an old flame, Lola. Clarence, a shy and inexperienced choir boy turned sailor, asks Joe to teach him how to meet women. Meanwhile, Donald Martin, an orphaned young boy who has run away from home to join the Navy, is found wandering the streets by a police sergeant, who takes him to the station. Donald refuses to tell the police his name and where he lives, so Clarence and Joe are summoned to help convince the boy to go home.
