Synopsis
Believing he has committed murder, Sam Pertune, a simple westerner, enlists in the Navy, then cannot get released when he learns that his "victim" is alive. He becomes the butt of jokes--and then a hero when he saves the captain from a maniac. Invited to the captain's house, Pertune rescues him again and wins a promotion and a sweetheart, who turns out to be the captain's niece.
