During the Spanish Civil War on the Aragón frontline the speakers of the Nationalist troops announce a "Fiesta" in a nearby village which includes a bull run and religious procession. A group of Republican soldiers infiltrate the Nationalist side to steal the animal for two reasons; to ruin the holiday for the Nationalists and because their food stores are low.

Dans une bataille qui semble parodiée les combats de la première guerre mondiale, le vaillant soldat des tranchées, Bosko, est en train de manger lorsque le feu de l’ennemi détruit sa nourriture. Il attrape un morceau de fromage dans une souricière et essaye de le manger. Il soupire alors que d'autres explosions pleuvent sur ses décombres. Il sort une photo de Honey de son short et l'embrasse, mais une balle détruit la photo. Il juge de se venger, mais lorsqu'il tente de sortir de la tranchée, il est repoussé par un tir de barrage. Pour lui remonter le moral, un cheval soldat joue de son harmonica et les deux commencent à danser. Un troisième soldat, un chien, essaie de dormir mais une puce le mord. Malgré ses tentatives pour s'en débarrassé, il arrive pas atteindre la puce. Bosko attrape le casque du chien et le tient en l'air pendant que les balles ennemies lui perforent des trous déchiquetés, il le rend au chien reconnaissant, qui l'utilise contre la puce. Puis Bosko voit une souris qui pilote un pélican, larguer des bombes et utilise le chien comme une fronde pour abattre le pélican. En essayant de capturer un nid de mitraillette, dans un nid d'oiseau, un hippopotame amicale est abattu par une artillerie lourde. Bosko lie un tissu blanc à un poteau en guise de drapeau de trêve pour pouvoir aider l'hippopotame, mais une autre bombe s'y accroche. Le tissus s’approche ensuite et dépose la bombe à côté du canon pour la faire exploser. Il sauve ensuite le soldat blessé en décompressant son nombril et en récupérant l'obus. Le projectile explose quand même rendant Bosko entièrement noir et le poussant à s'exclamer "Mammy!" à la Al Jolson.

Set "Somewhere in the South Pacific", Gruber's gambling scheme backfires when he tries to raise lots of money for St Theresa’s Orphanage through off-track horserace betting. Heavy bets on the horse "Silver Spot" leaves the crew owing a large sum to sailors and marines. A little while later when the crew is in New Caledonia and after Ensign Parker is kissed by Andrea Bouchard (Claudine Longet) the lightheaded Parker accidentally sets off a depth charge and destroys the dock and cargo of businessman Henri Le Clerc (George Kennedy), leaving the crew even more in debt. However, while on a reconnaissance mission to an island the crew comes across Silver Spot who was lost on the island after the horse was being moved from Australia. They decide to enter Silver Spot in a race in New Caledonia to win enough money to pay all their debts. Otherwise the only way to pay all their debts is for McHale to marry his old flame Margot Monet (Jean Willes) who owns a gambling parlor in New Caledonia (but who McHale would rather not marry). They try to disguise the horse with lots of heavy hair, but when the hair starts to come off during the race they decide to use a smoke screen from the 73 to keep anyone from seeing too much. However, this made it impossible for the racetrack authorities to know who won. But the smokescreen also caused a Japanese submarine to be captured by the 73. In the end Le Clerc is so grateful for saving his town from a Japanese attack he forgives the debt. The crew also gets a reward for rescuing Silver Spot which just happened to be enough to pay the sailors and marines. While all this was going on the Pt-73 crew was dogging Binghamton (Joe Flynn) and his aide Carpenter (Bob Hastings). And just as they were leaving New Caledonia the bashful Parker is kissed by Bouchard and again the lightheaded Parker sets off another depth charge which destroys Le Clerc's dock and cargo again. But rather than marry Monet to pay for the new damage, McHale and crew immediately scramble to get out of New Caledonia.
