Just after the end of WWII, a team of American naval photographers lodge in a Japanese geisha house. Led by Glenn Ford ("Andy") they have some light-hearted adventures as, aided by Donald O'Connor's "Price", the sailors learn a little of the culture of their hostesses and more about their tradition (i.e. they are not hookers). Simultaneously, they must try to avoid their bosses jumping to any inaccurate conclusions - even if that means pretending that they are really running an orphanage! It's a bit of a one joke film, this; O'Connor really doesn't look like he wants to be there at all and though it does have flashes of humour, I just felt they were too few and far between in this colourful and friendly, but otherwise quite sluggish, drama.
