Synopsis

Newly wedded Lt. John Stekler (Jerry Lewis) finds himself up to his neck in hot water and his honeymoon sunk when the Navy discovers – years after the fact – that Stekler was last responsible for the missing $5 million USS Komblatt. Pressure is mounting on all sides. With the help of Miss Benson, a sexy, blond ensign, Stekler casts off on his search, leaving in his wake his frustrated, lovely bride and his sputtering, suspicious, foot-stomping mother-in-law. Can Lt. John Stekler find the ship and give it up before he loses his mind, his spouse and his freedom?
