Spike and Bat, two brawny, lusty, best-buddy Marines on the Korean front, are sent behind enemy lines to retrieve valuable information from an elderly, wounded Korean acting as an agent for the United States. Before dying, the agent tells the boys the information is sewn into the dress hem of his lovely granddaughter, Lotus Blossom. Spike and Bat head back to camp with Lotus Blossom in tow and have several close calls with Korean soldiers before recrossing enemy lines. The story is punctuated with the two Marines playing pranks on one another and lusting after "dames".
