It's 1941. Robert E. Lee Prewitt has requested Army transfer and has ended
up at Schofield in Hawaii. His new captain, Dana Holmes, has heard of his
boxing prowess and is keen to get him to represent the company. However,
'Prew' is adamant that he doesn't box anymore, so Captain Holmes gets his
subordinates to make his life a living hell. Meanwhile Sergeant Warden
starts seeing the captain's wife, who has a history of seeking external relief
from a troubled marriage. Prew's friend Maggio has a few altercations with
the sadistic stockade Sergeant 'Fatso' Judson, and Prew begins falling in
love with social club employee Lorene. Unbeknownst to anyone, the

With his family away for their annual summer holiday, New Yorker
Richard Sherman decides he has the opportunity to live a bachelor's

out in his own imagination however.
