Saratoga—only to turn up again just as stern C.P.O. Bert Tuggleburt arrives for inspection. In a scramble to hide their furry stowaway, the pair accidentally swap dufflebags with their superior officer, setting off a hilarious chain of mix-ups that neither they nor Tuggleburt see coming.

Lucy, the Admiral's daughter, decides to test her father's boasted ship security by sneaking aboard his vessel—only to climb the anchor chain of the wrong ship in the darkness. Stranded on the S.S. Torch, a decommissioned target ship headed out to sea to be sunk in a fleet exercise, Lucy must find a way to signal her father's fleet before the cannons finish what they started. It's a high-seas comedy of mistaken identity and comeuppance wrapped up in one waterlogged lesson about pride.
