U.S. Navy Ensign Frank Pulver Robert Walker, Jr. feels unappreciated, as usual. Even when he personally aims a sharp object into the hindquarters of the hated Captain Morton Burl Ives, the happy crew cannot imagine that the alltalk, noaction Pulver could be behind it. A poll to guess at the identity of the asssassin results in votes for almost everyone except Pulver, which he bitterly resents.Ship mates like Billings Larry Hagman, Insigna James Farentino, Skouras James Coco and Dolan Jack Nicholson dont take Pulver seriously while despising the captain, who refuses to grant leave to a seaman named Bruno Tommy Sands to attend his daughters funeral back home. Doc Walter Matthau is the only one aboard who believes in Pulvers potential at all. ........
