Summary:
"Forty-eight hours shore leave isn't much time for three sailors who've gone from patrolling straits to prowling for curves in San Francisco. But it's plenty of time for great songs, exuberant dancing-- and lots of goofy trouble when a brawl with a meddling playboy sets the Shore Patrol on the swabbies' trail."--Container.
