Cary Grant stars in one of his funniest roles as a boozy beachcomber sitting out WWII in peace - until the Allies recruit him to be a lookout on the South Pacific isle. During an enemy attack, he answers a distress call and discovers a beautiful French schoolmarm and her students. A hilarious battle of the sexes between a messy American, a prim Mademoiselle, and seven mischievous little girls.
