Output (English): 2nd Lt. Merle Wye Hutton, an Army Intelligence officer stationed in Hawaii, is rendered horizontal when struck in the head by a foul ball while playing for his units baseball team. In the post hospital he is attracted to Lt. Molly Blue Prentiss, a nurse he once knew in college. His superior and manager of the team orders the inept Merle to distant Rotohan, a secure island liberated some months before, ostensibly to relieve Lt. Billy Monk Jack Carter, who has been unable to capture a Japanese holdout called Kobayashi suspected of pilfering military supplies. However the coach really wants Monk, a former professional baseball player, for his team. By claiming to be ordered to dangerous duty Merle tries to seduce Blue, who when she discovers the ruse barely gives him the time of day. On Rotohan, Merle and his Nisei interpreter and lothario Sgt. Roy Tada Yoshio Yoda team up with Monk to flush out the wily thief hiding in the hills. Using a reluctant Tada as a spy they discover that Kobayashi has been stealing the supplies, all creature comforts, to feed and clothe his pregnant girlfriend. But Merle is distracted when Blue is also assigned to his camp. With the Navy, in the form of obnoxious Cmdr. Jeremiah Hammerslag Jim Backus, also hunting Kobayashi, Merle is threatened by his new superior, Col. Korotny Charles McGraw, with another transfer if he does not capture Kobayashi soon—this time to an even more remote rock with only six other soldiers as company. While romancing a local girl Miyoshi Umeki, Tada discovers that Kobayashi is not even a soldier but a former circus performer hidden in a cave in the hills by the villagers. That night Kobayashi is to appear at a variety show staged by the locals to entertain the Americans. When Merle tries to arrest him, the agile Kobayashi stuns him using judo, knocking him horizontal again, and escapes. Col. Korotny tells Merle he is shipping out in the morning. During a drive in the hills to say goodbye, Merle and Blue stumble on the cave, where Blue captures the acrobat after Merle once more becomes the horizontal lieutenant. Merle is given a medal anyway and wins her heart.
