Binghamton tries to railroad McHale, the 73, and the crew to Russia, with a visiting Russian naval officer, who is on the base for PT boat training.

Restricted to base, McHale and the crew fix up a wrecked boat to stand in for the 73, while they help some natives rebuild their village, which was destroyed by a pesky Japanese pilot.
