Life aboard a US Navy cargo ship in 1945 is not happy. The overbearing manner of the captain has produced apathy and despair among crew and officers alike. At the showing of a movie which the captain requires the crew to attend, Ensign Pulver sees his chance to strike a blow for justice's sake by converting his slingshot from a toy to a weapon.
Although the result of this is that the whole ship is put on punitive duty, Ensign Pulver is the hero of the hour and dubbed the great assassin'.
Sadly for Pulver his popularity does not last long, but an encounter with a group of USA army nurses soon restores his good spirits.
