James Cagney and Pat O'Brien are grown men who hold a long-standing grudge against one another for petty reasons. Cagney joins the Navy just to get back at O'Brien, a Navy officer. They constantly harass each other even on duty. When Cagney falls for O'Brien's sister, the lovely Gloria Stuart, the rivalry escalates. It's only when Cagney saves O'Brien in a military exercise that they can put aside their differences and act their age. Other than some documentary-like footage of the doomed USS Arizona and a Navy zeppelin, a complete waste of time.
