Two Navy buddies, "Breezy" Duke (Ralph Byrd) and "Cookie" (Stubby Kruger) are on furlough and meet a waelthy woman who lends them her suite while she is gone for a month.
Duke is mistaken for a candy magnate and before you now it they are being swindled by a couple of men into looking for a treasure that doesn't really exist.
The phony treasure, concocted by a man named Colonel Courtney (Herbert Corthell) turns out to be real after all, and then the chase is on. While all this is going on, Duke falls for a beautiful woman named Maureen (Veda Ann Borg) whom the Colonel had hired to get money out of Duke.
This is a fun and very light way to spend a little over an hour. The performances are all good and it's always a pleasure to see Veda Ann Borg who was one of the loveliest actresses of the 40's.
The print from Sinister isn't perfect, of course, given the age of the film and lack of care it has been given, but it's still the best I've seen.
