Jack is on the run from the law, and is looking for a safe place to hide. The two men come to talking and Freckles mentions his serene home town to Jack, having only good things to say about it. Jack decides to tag along and take his refuge in Freckles home town. With Freckles help he gets to stay at the local hotel, owned by Danny Doyle (Marvin Stephens), who is Freckles’ friend. Danny is about to rerun the road through town, so that it runs over a number of worthless lots of land he has bought.

The early portions of the film deal with the history of the Corps, from Colonial times to the 1942. The film's midsection details the arduous training procedure of the Few and the Proud at Parris Island and elsewhere. Finally, wartime newsreel footage is adroitly blended with dramatized re-enactments to illustrate the contributions, and the utter necessity of the marines in World War II.

Sammy le Goëland et Cecil le Corbeau ont embarqué sur le même bateau. Cecil, originaire de l'Iowa, veut voir une danseuse de hula-hoop ; heureusement, ils viennent d'arriver à portée d'une île tropicale où se trouve une charmante danseuse. Ils essaient à tour de rôle de l'impressionner, avec des cascades telles que l'écriture de cœurs dans le ciel (Cecil manque de se noyer) et des plongées fantaisistes (Cecil manque de s'écraser, puis se bat avec un requin, une tortue et une étoile de mer).
