During World War II, the Army recruits Navy Officer Rip Crandall (Lemmon) to command a battered old Schooner for a top secret mission. Masquerading as a Japanese fishing boat, this nautical nightmare must smuggle a spy through the mine-infested waters of the South Pacific.

Can the dedicated Lieutenant whip these comically inexperienced gobs into shape in time to carry out their perilous mission? For gales of laughter, take a riotous cruise aboard "The Wackiest Ship In the Army!"
