The Admiral issues an order for all Chief Petty Officers to be shipped out, and Binghamton cons the 73 crew into applying for the job, and makes sure that they all pass the exam.

Binghamton's wife pays a visit to Taratupa with the women's Navy League, and confusion ensues, as McHale and the boys try to keep her away from Admiral Rogers, and a 'hoochie coochie' dancer.

Caught with the goods, while trying to return some stolen property, Binghamton jails Parker pending court-martial. But McHale cooks up a plan to free him, by making the captain think he's losing his mind.
