The background of the story is that during the World War II period, a US Navy cargo ship was traveling in the South Pacific. Fonda played the role of a dedicated officer Roberts, hoping to leave this quiet ship to the front line. But the captain is a man with a small belly, who takes the whole person for fun, and will not sign Roberts' application request in any case. In addition, there is a small soldier named Pulver on the ship, who always tries his best to escape from work. There was constant friction and argument between Roberts and the crew, even on small things. After experiencing the test of life and death, their friendship began to strengthen.
