Synopsis
When the U.S. Fleet returns from a cruise, sailors congregate at Looloo's coffeeshop. Mrs. Payne, a wealthy society matron, drops into the shop with Admiral Payne and Lieutenant Allen and shows an interest in Looloo's heirloom necklace. Later, Bilge Smith arrives with Clarence, Lavinia's runaway sweetheart, and promptly falls for Looloo, to whom he reveals his ambitions to captain his own ship, then is carried off by his shipmates. Looloo sells the necklace to Mrs. Payne to help Bilge. When the fleet returns, the shop has been converted into a "home." To find her sweetheart, Looloo arranges with Mrs. Payne to give a party for the men. She accepts Bilge's proposal and offended at her for offering him money to help him obtain his own ship, he leaves but returns to her after being ousted form the service. When Looloo convinces him that she no longer has any money, they plan to marry.
