Anchors Andrews is counting down the days until his Navy hitch ends, but his commanding officer Tuggleburt has other plans—he needs Anchors to re-enlist, so he tries a complete personality swap to win him over. When Anchors signs the papers, Tuggleburt reverts to his old drill-sergeant ways, sparking a frantic scramble to get those re-enlistment documents back before they're delivered to Ensign Herkimer. What follows is a wild chase across the ship filled with slapstick mishaps and desperate schemes that will determine whether Anchors stays in or gets out.
