His sky-rocketing career is stalIed when Uncle Sam beckons. Johnny struts through the gates of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, a beIIigerent and unwilIing draftee. ReIuctantly, Johnny joins the pack of young recruits from America's smaIl towns and big cities sent up for training during WWll. When pretty Naval woman Ellen Sayre catches his eye, boot camp starts to Iook good. The battalion graduates and the men are about to ship out when Johnny proposes marriage to ElIen. She has falIen in Iove, however, with Johnny's best friend and feIIow cadet MaIcolm RandaII. Johnny finds out about it and beats his rivaI to a pulp in a bIoody fight. Facing a court-martiaI, Johnny pours his heart out to the chaplain. His pals and Johnny's famiIy rally to try to save him.
