In this fast-moving, wisecracking sailors-at-sea story, Cagney is a truculent dance-hall lothario whose gal is stolen by petty officer O'Brien after a Pier Six brawl. Cagney later joins the Navy and is assigned to the battleship
Arizona, on which O'Brien is stationed. The two continue their
feuding while Cagney breaks all the rules, bringing upon himself one punishment after another. Further, the feisty Cagney woos O'Brien's sister, Stuart, when in port, which aggravates the situation. Cagney's errant ways soon make him a pariah; no other sailor on board ship will even talk to him,
except loyal McHugh. Then Cagney goes AWOL and O'Brien puts him under arrest....
