Although they are raw recruits, their drill sergeant, Sgt. Reed (MacLachlan), sees them as future soldiers.

Lieutenant John Paul Steckler VII (Jerry Lewis), the last of a long line of good-natured but goofing-up US Navy officers, was tasked with guiding the Kornblatt to its decommission, but somehow the ship disappeared on its home journey without a trace. Now, with a $4 billion appropriation at stake, Congressman Mandeville (Gale Gordon) refuses to approve the funds until the Kornblatt is recovered; and Steckler's former superior, Vice Admiral Bludde (Robert Middleton), who has been trying to sugarcoat this embarrassing incidence, has no other choice but to comply.

Colonel Anacleto Punzone (Banfi) is a military doctor with expertise in organ transplantation. He has a small penis, leading to a frustrated sex life with his wife Giovanna (Malisa Longo). Furthermore, his penis size forces him to dodge sexual advances from an attractive colleague, Prof. Eva Russell (Cassini). Colonel now contemplates on the radical solution of penis transplantation, finding a potential donor in dim-witted and well-endowed Private Arturo Mazzancolla (Alvaro Vitali). During Prof. Russell's visits to the military hospital, Colonel realises that other men, including handsome Lieutenant Lancetti (Bruno Minniti) are interested in her and he feels that the operation is even more urgent although it may result in some complications.
