Glenn Tryon has smuggled Mary Carlisle aboard the submarine, and the officers have ordered the men to find her. This incites fellow submariner Bobby Vernon into a competition with Tryon for Miss Carlisle's affection, in which struggle Shore Patrolman Walter Long gets involved.
It's the last on screen appearance of Vernon; neither did Tryon appear much subsequently. Both retreated behind the screen as writers, directors and producers. This effort shows why two such polished comedy veterans would do so; its start-and-stop pacing is caused by the fact that they and director Harry Edwards were veterans of silent comedy, and the imposition of dialogue, as well as a constant cranking speed, ruined their timing. They could and would figure out how to do better for performers more used to speaking, but their times had passed.
