Abbott and Costello rehash Buck Privates, only in the Navy. They even mistakenly call the film Buck Privates in the opening title sequence. Anyway, The Andrews Sisters return, and even get some speaking parts, since Lou is supposedly in love with Patty. The plot is mostly carried this time by Dick Powell as a crooner hiding from his rabid female fans in the Navy. Intrepid reporter Claire Dodd is also on board posing as a man. The best routine is when Lou shows Bud how 7 x 13 equals 28 by butchering simple mathematics.
