Cheery musical about a trio of Navy sailors on leave and go about the town of New York City for 24 hours. With trip like this for sailors who have been at sea for years, it's only natural that they try to make the best of it. As they find out, strange things can happen in a day. Great songs and dancing overpowers a weak and unlikely plot. The cast members are well-chosen treasures.
