Jack Lemmon takes command of a run down yacht with Ricky Nelson as his first mate. The crew knows nothing about sailing, but he manages to train them in a matter of days. Soon they are sailing across the Coral Sea on a secret mission. At their destination, they spy on some Japs, get taken prisoner and escape. It's all rather matter-of-fact, floundering somewhere between an unfunny comedy and routine drama. Ricky Nelson sings perhaps the worst version of "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" I have ever heard, his acting isn't much better.
