Andy Griffith stars as Al Woods, a college student more interested in girls and parties than with his falling grades and strained relationship with girlfriend Jo Hill. And as World War II begins, Al expects to sit it out as an assistant cook for the coast guard. His rebellious ways, however, mean that he falls afoul of mess officer Red Wildoe (Walter Matthau), but his individualistic nature attracts Wildoe's fiancée Stella (Felicia Farr).
