Geisha Girl

After spending one year of service in Korea, United States Army privates Rocky Wilson and Archie MacGregor prepare to visit Tokyo for a week before returning to America. Archie, who is obsessed with taking his vitamins, fails to notice pretty American stewardess Peggy Burns, but Rocky secures her phone number. Soon after, Peggy, who is really an Allied spy, reads a note from Col. Towne instructing her to report to the Tokyo police inspector to await word about Tetu Nakano, a dangerous enemy. In Tokyo, Rocky and Archie, finding all the nightclubs closed to Allied soldiers, visit Hiko's Haberdashery to trade their uniforms for suits. Unknown to them or Peggy, Nakano has a secret office in the back of the shop, where he is at that moment receiving bottles of pills from his partner, an inventor called Professor. The pills are explosives with the power of an atom bomb, and the men plan to bring their political party to world domination by blowing up several islands the following day. Just as Rocky and Archie enter, Nakano hands the bottles to his shop attendant, who hurriedly shoves them into the pocket of a jacket on the rack. Archie insists on trying on the jacket, and before the attendant can retrieve the pills, two military policemen enter and chase the privates, who are not allowed to be out of uniform. They escape and Rocky invites Peggy to a nightclub that evening. Nakano has them followed, but just as one of his men tries to pick Archie's pocket, Peggy enters and warns him. Archie realizes there are pills in his pocket, but assumes they are his vitamins. Pretending to help them, Nakano invites the three to his geisha school, and when Peggy recognizes his name, she agrees. There, as Nakano explains the geisha's intensive study of Japanese arts and English, Archie becomes smitten with a geisha named Michiko. Nakano instructs the head geisha to steal the pills from Archie's jacket, so she places him in a bathtub filled with scalding water. He escapes, however, and grabs the jacket before she can search it. Nakano then drugs Archie's soup, but Michiko throws away the soup and fills the bowl with water from the goldfish bowl, which Archie drinks, goldfish and all. The next day, Peggy overhears Nakano inform the professor that he has trapped the Americans on the property and will have Archie attacked when they attend a tour the following afternoon. Peggy disguises herself as a geisha and escapes the grounds. Upon reading a newspaper article stating that a nearby island has been blown up, she races to the police inspector to inform him of Nakano's plan. The inspector quickly hires Zoro, a mischievous hypnotist, and sends him to Nakano's with a pair of sunglasses to hide his eyes so everyone except Nakano will be safe. Just as Zoro arrives that evening, Nakano's henchman enters Archie and Rocky's bedroom, but before he can steal the pills, Zoro hypnotizes him and gives the pills to Peggy. In the morning, however, Zoro, looking in a mirror, hypnotizes himself, and as a result, Nakano's goons are able to attack Archie as the group tours Tokyo. Peggy and Rocky find Archie and Michiko unconscious, but when they wake them, Archie believes the geisha's kiss knocked him out. Soon after, the MPs see the soldiers and chase them through the city. They escape into a kabuki theater, where the men don geisha costumes and are promptly pushed onstage. They entertain the crowd with their antics and then race back to Nakano's, where one of the goons has brought Peggy and Michiko. The professor is there and identifies Peggy as a spy, after which Rocky is captured, but before either can be punished, Archie wakes Zoro. The hypnotist wreaks havoc upon Nakano and his men and Peggy escapes to find Col. Towne. Later, at the police station, Rocky and Archie are arrested along with the criminals, but just as the MPs try to take them away, Peggy enters with the colonel, who pardons the men but orders them to return to America. While Zoro hypnotizes the inspector into walking around without his pants, Rocky kisses Peggy in thanks.
