00:00The
00:30¶¶
01:00Aboard most ships, even in a crisis, the command of all back full means the ship will go in the reverse direction.
01:06Aboard the Sea Tiger, it could mean several hundred directions.
01:11Chief, there must be an easier way to wake us up in the morning. Are you all right?
01:17I'm okay.
01:19I've been thrown out of my bed three times in one night.
01:22We ought to wear parachutes. We spend more time in the air than we do in our bunks.
01:26That's enough. The griping lamp is out.
01:30You're so grouchy before 6 a.m. feeding.
01:36Good morning, Dooley.
01:38Good morning, sir.
01:38Good morning, Captain.
01:39Can I craddle?
01:40Oh, good morning, Sam.
01:43Oh, good morning, Skipper.
01:44How are you doing?
01:45Fine, just fine.
01:47What's the problem with the engines?
01:49Oh, no problem. Listen to them.
01:52Ain't that music?
01:53Yeah, that's music, all right, Sam.
01:55What worries were you of the parts that were up all night dancing?
01:58Oh, no problem, Skipper.
01:59Everything's under control.
02:00Well, I think you can use some help.
02:02Major Hayward really knows her engines.
02:05I'd like her to give you a hand.
02:07Skipper, that's just about all I'll want to see of Major Hayward and my engine.
02:14Sam, until you get some new equipment, I'm going to ask the Major to help you out.
02:19But, Skipper, I can handle it myself.
02:20Well, why don't you trust me?
02:22I'm perfectly capable of standing on my own two feet.
02:25Ow!
02:28There are some things that can never be learned.
02:31Chief Tostin never learned to accept help.
02:34I never learned to accept the fact that Chief Tostin never learned to accept help.
02:39I can't work with that man.
02:41He won't let me help him.
02:42I'll tell you, Captain, there's going to be a big explosion in that engine room.
02:45We're going to blow a couple of gaskets, one on the compressor and one on me.
02:49He screamed, he yelled, he stomped, he raved.
02:53And you sensed anger in all of this?
02:55It might be easier to deal with the Chief if we had new parts.
02:59New parts?
03:00We can't even get used parts.
03:02Face it, Captain, we have been pursuing those parts all over the Pacific.
03:06We're not going to get them.
03:07Why not?
03:08We deserve them.
03:09We have a good record.
03:10We also have a pink submarine, makeshift equipment and five army nurses aboard.
03:15We don't fit the Navy's image of a fighting boat.
03:17Thank you for that we, Major.
03:19It's good to have you with us.
03:20And we are going to find those parts.
03:22Mr. Watson, where's in your supply base?
03:24Let me see, sir.
03:25That would be Lanaroa Island.
03:27Lanaroa.
03:27All right, set course for Lanaroa.
03:29Sir, wouldn't it be much easier to return to Coussaint?
03:32Coussaint, why?
03:33Well, they don't know us at Lanaroa, sir.
03:35That's great.
03:36That gives us a better shot at getting the parts we need.
03:38When do we have to get this truck back to the motor pool?
03:50Before they find out it's missing.
03:53Harry Gill!
03:55Matt!
03:55Matt Sherman!
03:57What are you doing here?
03:58Matt Sherman!
03:59I can't believe it!
04:00You old barnacle, but what are you doing on this neck of the wall?
04:03Oh, Skipper, the sea tiger.
04:04Sea tiger?
04:05I never heard of it.
04:06So far, so good.
04:07What?
04:08No.
04:09Harry, I have a problem.
04:11I hope you can help me out.
04:12Are you kidding?
04:13Anything from my old roomie, you name it, you've got it.
04:16Thanks, Harry.
04:17Look, we need some new engine parts.
04:19Ah, yes, sir.
04:20I have an itemized list for you right now.
04:22Let me see.
04:23You have a requisition for these parts, right?
04:25Well, Harry, I don't have any requisition forms.
04:27We used the last one all about a week ago.
04:29Oh, Matt, I'm sorry.
04:30I can't let you have any of these parts without a requisition.
04:33Well, give me a requisition form.
04:34I'll fill it out.
04:35How can I give you a requisition form without a requisition?
04:37What happened to you won it and you got it?
04:41Well, Matt, that was, well, for anything that didn't require a requisition.
04:45You don't have a requisition?
04:47He was a rat then.
04:50He's a rat now.
04:52Matt, look, even if you had a requisition, there is no way that you could get any supplies
04:56for at least 24 hours.
04:58Everything in this entire warehouse is being held for Admiral Tostin's task force.
05:02Excuse me, sir.
05:02Did you say Tostin?
05:04T-O-S-T-I-N?
05:05Yes.
05:06He's got his flotilla anchored on the other side of the island.
05:09Do you know him?
05:10We have a chief petty officer on board by the same name.
05:13Is he from Milwaukee?
05:14That's a popular name in those parts.
05:17More popular than matches in these parts.
05:19I'll be right back.
05:19Captain, we're going to need a miracle to get those engine parts.
05:25Uh, pardon me.
05:28I'm on Admiral Tostin's staff.
05:29I've got a list of requisitions here that need to be filled.
05:33Are you the supply officer?
05:35At your service.
05:36I'll take care of you, sir.
05:39We need all that immediately.
05:40Uh, yes.
05:42Uh, I tell you.
05:43It looks like it's going to take us quite a little while to fill this out for you.
05:46Why don't you come back in a couple of hours?
05:48Yes, sir.
05:56Uncle, there's a Commander Gill in there.
05:58I want you to give him the top two sheets and tell him it's top priority.
06:01But this belongs to...
06:02This isn't ours.
06:04We could get...
06:05Room?
06:15It's everything we need.
06:16Where do we get all this stuff?
06:18Lieutenant Holden.
06:19Then that means we've got to get out of port real quick, right?
06:22Right.
06:23Where's Sam?
06:24I don't know.
06:24I haven't seen him for an hour.
06:31I can't find Sam.
06:32He got off the boat when we dropped anchor.
06:34He was talking to himself.
06:35Well, that means Major Hanger was helping, didn't help it.
06:37That also means the local bar.
06:38That means you'd better go look for him.
06:40By all means.
06:41Captain, Chief Tostin's been arrested.
06:42What happened?
06:43We passed this bar, sir, and he was tearing it apart.
06:45Where is the bar?
06:47It doesn't matter.
06:47It's not there anymore.
06:48He was really tearing it apart.
06:49They called the shore patrol.
06:50Was there that much damage?
06:52Well, you've heard of sidewalk cafes?
06:53This ended up a cafe on the sidewalk.
06:55They took him to jail.
06:56We should leave him there and teach him a lesson, sir.
06:59Mr. Watson, we have hot engine parts.
07:02If we don't get Tostin out of that brig and get this boat out of port quickly, well,
07:05I don't know the capacity of that brig, but we're going to be taxing it.
07:08Well, you know what I think, sir?
07:10We've got to get Tostin out of the brig.
07:12We certainly do, don't you, Mr. Holden?
07:15Oh, indeed.
07:23Uncle, keep that ship to shore.
07:25Communication open with the Admiral.
07:26I want to get right back to him.
07:30Can I help you, sir?
07:31Yes, I believe you can.
07:37We understand you have arrested a chief petty officer by the name of Tostin.
07:42Tostin, yes.
07:43Yes, he was arrested for brawling and causing property damage to derelict Dan's bar.
07:50Let's see.
07:51Well, could you fill me in on the details so that I can report them back to his brother, the Admiral?
07:59He's the Admiral's brother?
08:00I admire your courage, Lieutenant.
08:03You are not at all intimidated by the fact that he is the Admiral's favorite brother.
08:07Favorite brother?
08:10Let's see.
08:10Listen, I had no idea if I had.
08:12I certainly wouldn't.
08:13You are an inspiration to all of us, Lieutenant Meadows.
08:16You are not about to sacrifice your principles,
08:19no matter how drastically the Admiral's retaliation might affect your future.
08:24Affect my future?
08:25I am proud to serve in the same Navy with a man of your integrity.
08:29And as a man of integrity myself, you're a better man than I am, Lieutenant Meadows.
08:35Say, Lieutenant.
08:36Holden, Nicholas R.
08:39Listen, I'd hate to cause the Admiral any undue embarrassment.
08:44Maybe if I could just release Chief Tostin into your custody.
08:50Wouldn't that be bending the rules just a little bit?
08:52Well, I think the Admiral's brother is certainly entitled to one teeny-weeny mistake.
08:57Teeny-weeny?
08:59Would you take him, please?
09:00He's right over there.
09:00Surely.
09:01You didn't have to come get me.
09:06I ain't gonna gut it myself out.
09:08I'll consider that a thank you, sir.
09:10Well, it's not that I don't appreciate what you've done for me,
09:12but I'm thoroughly capable of taking care of myself.
09:14I know that, Sam.
09:15I just couldn't resist the challenge.
09:17How did you, Springer?
09:18You're not gonna believe me.
09:19I told them that you're Admiral Tostin's brother, and I bought it.
09:27I am.
09:28You are what?
09:29Admiral Tostin's brother.
09:31I made that up.
09:32You made what up?
09:33That you are Admiral Tostin's brother.
09:35I am.
09:36You are what?
09:37Yes.
09:38But you can't be.
09:39Okay, then I'm not.
09:41But you are, aren't you?
09:42Yes.
09:44Why didn't you ever tell me?
09:45Because I didn't want anyone to know.
09:47And you wouldn't have known if you hadn't made it up.
09:49I didn't even talk to him.
09:51I'm going to bring him up for it.
09:52Stay here.
09:53You're not indebted to him.
09:54I made you up.
09:55I made him up.
09:56I got you out.
09:58Okay.
09:59But I want you to know that I could have gotten myself up.
10:01That's right, Sam.
10:03Anytime I want it.
10:04That's right, Sam.
10:05That's right.
10:06And he walked right into the jail, sir, and told them he was an Admiral's aide.
10:11Doesn't sound at all like Lieutenant Holden.
10:13I'm sorry, sir, but that's what he did.
10:15And we're going to have to take him in for aiding and abetting a jailbreak
10:18involving one of your chief petty officers.
10:20Okay, Captain, we can shove off now.
10:22I got this.
10:22Hi, Lieutenant Fredericks.
10:24It's good to see you.
10:25Maybe you can help.
10:27Shore Patrol here is looking for Lieutenant Holden and Chief Tustin.
10:32Somebody looking for me?
10:34Not you, Chief Mitchell.
10:36Talking about Chief Tustin.
10:38Right, right.
10:39Holden and Tustin have probably stopped at a bar somewhere for a drink.
10:42Well, there's only one bar on the island, and it's closed down for repairs.
10:47Well, the way they drink, they're probably waiting.
10:51It won't be open for at least a week.
10:53They're very patient.
10:55Oh, good.
10:56Holden.
10:56Tustin, you're back.
10:58But not for long.
10:59Nice try, Captain.
11:01But we're taking them to the brig.
11:02Okay, you're both under arrest.
11:04Let's go.
11:05You're making a terrible mistake.
11:07He really is the Admiral's brother, and this time I'm not making it up.
11:10He busted up my establishment so bad, there ain't nothing left but a pile of rubble.
11:20That's an improvement.
11:22You're the only bar in town where the customers threw themselves out.
11:24I'll have you know I run a respectable place where my two daughters come in there each and every day, and they're right proud to.
11:31You have a list of the damages?
11:33I sure do, Your Honor.
11:34Right here, $768.75.
11:38What's a $75 for, your tip?
11:43Now, this is out of our jurisdiction.
11:44It's a civil matter.
11:45Do you want to press charges?
11:46I sure do.
11:47Put Chief Thompson on the brig.
11:49Thank you, Your Honor.
11:50Mm-hmm.
11:52Now, sir, what about Lieutenant Holden?
11:54Now, are you sure he was impersonating a Admiral's aide?
11:57Commander Billings, he was wearing a gold shoulder braid.
12:00Hey, I was also wearing boxer shorts.
12:02Does that mean I was impersonating Joe Lewis?
12:04Dispense with your whimsy, Holden.
12:06I don't know how you're involved in this caper, but I'm going to keep my hands on you until I find out.
12:10Take him away.
12:15No, I can promise you this, sir.
12:16They won't flim-flam me again.
12:18Oh, I certainly hope not, because if you don't keep him behind those bars, you might lose those bars.
12:25Meadows?
12:26Meadows, I've got to talk to you.
12:27I thought I told you to lock him up.
12:29This man has a problem, sir.
12:30You've got to send for Major Hayward of the Sea Tiger.
12:32You're not allowed visitors.
12:33No, she's not a visitor, she's a nurse.
12:35You see, I'm not a well man.
12:36Yeah, I've got to have my shot.
12:39See, before...
12:40It may be too late.
12:49What kind of shot?
12:51Don't get yourself emotionally involved.
12:53There's nothing you can do.
12:54The Major will know what to do if it's not too late.
12:56If not, Chaplin Rosenfeld is my favorite.
13:05He's ready with you.
13:06Hey, Joe.
13:07Quick, we'll take a call and roll up your sleeve.
13:13You don't have to give me the shot.
13:16He's watching.
13:17He's watching.
13:20You're enjoying this.
13:23More than you know.
13:24Oh, it's a vitamin.
13:29I don't care.
13:31Excuse me.
13:32Would you get me this for me?
13:36Okay, now why am I making jail calls?
13:38He's got a blank sheet of paper.
13:40Let's see.
13:41I've got to get Sam out of here.
13:42He could get 30 days if I can't talk dearly to him out of pressing charges.
13:46Does this do?
13:47If it's blank, it'll do.
13:48It's blank.
13:49Great.
13:49Sam, sign this right here, please.
13:56I don't sign anything unless I've read it.
13:57Well, okay, then read it first.
13:58And if you agree with what it says, then sign it.
14:00Sign it the way you always do.
14:01Just ask it?
14:02Right.
14:03You're going to turn to help me.
14:05Oh, of course.
14:05I know better than that.
14:07Okay, now just write in.
14:14I hereby request the immediate release of Lieutenant Holden.
14:17Do you know what you're doing?
14:18Impersonating a mate is one thing, but forging the Admiral's signature is like asking for permanent
14:22breed duty.
14:23Look, Sam signed Tostin.
14:26The Admiral will be in Meadows' mind.
14:28I can't present this to Meadows.
14:29He saw us talking.
14:31He'll figure it out.
14:31You're right.
14:32Who came with you?
14:33The nurses and Hunkle drove us.
14:35Perfect, Hunkle.
14:42I'm sorry, Commander.
14:42You can't get aboard the ship without an authorization.
14:44Oh, how do I get myself authorized?
14:46Well, you'd have to see Lieutenant O'Donnell.
14:48And we both know where Lieutenant O'Donnell is, don't we?
14:50Aboard the ship.
14:51Aboard the ship.
14:52Who did you want to see, sir?
14:53Admiral Tostin.
14:54Well, you're in luck, sir.
14:55He's not aboard the ship.
14:56Where is he?
14:57At the supply table.
14:58And if you weren't authorized to tell me, don't worry.
15:00I won't talk.
15:01You mean to tell me you accepted this as being authentic?
15:08All it says is Tostin.
15:09Now then, would an admiral sign a note with just his surname?
15:14I'm sorry, sir.
15:15It'll never happen again.
15:18Whew.
15:18Whatever he may be to you, Chief Tostin is my friend, advisor, and confessor.
15:25If you're going to keep him in the brig, you might as well scuttle my boat.
15:27I'm sure he's going to resent my helping.
15:30He always does.
15:32He thinks if he accepts help from anyone, it's a sign of weakness.
15:37Well, if you could just write a little note.
15:38Hey, well, unfortunately, I don't have any official letterhead with me.
15:43Well, perhaps your signature on any piece of paper would do.
15:47You do.
15:48Uh, let me have a piece of paper.
15:51Will this do set you?
15:54Well, at least it's blank on one side.
15:58You know, Commander, if you can get Sam Tostin to just once in his life admit that he needs some help,
16:04it may change the course of his whole life.
16:07Thank you, sir.
16:08Uh, could you just put a little P.S. on there, uh, free Lieutenant Holden, too?
16:15Thank you, sir.
16:16That'll do it.
16:18Dan?
16:26How do you do?
16:27I'm Lieutenant Holden.
16:28Oh, yeah, I remember you.
16:30You're the buddy of the ball wrecker.
16:32Dan, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
16:34Now, I think that you would understand better than anyone why Chief Tostin did what he did.
16:38Why should I understand what he did?
16:41Because you're a daddy, too.
16:43How many daughters do you have?
16:44Two, right?
16:45I think you mentioned two in the shore patrol office.
16:47Well, Chief Tostin has two daughters also.
16:49And it's because of these two dear little girls that he got so upset in your fine establishment.
16:56What'd they do?
16:59Dan, I think I better let them tell you that themselves.
17:02Excuse me.
17:02Let me lose, Sarah Jane.
17:06Oh, thank you for seeing us, Con, sir.
17:10We won't apologize for what Daddy did to your place.
17:13But you see, he's a 24-year Navy man.
17:15And when he learned that we joined the Army, well, he just went berserk.
17:19Truly berserk.
17:20You shouldn't disappoint your daddy like that.
17:23Oh, we know.
17:24We went to the jail and we offered to take his place.
17:26But, well, they just won't let him out.
17:30There, there, little sister.
17:32Calm down.
17:33Well, I guess you learned your lesson.
17:36I'll go over and tell him I'll press charges.
17:39Mercy me.
17:39You've come down from heaven.
17:42Bless you, sir.
17:43Oh, and we'll pay for whatever the true cost of the damages are.
17:47Well, it wasn't nothing but about $11 and I got insurance.
17:51Oh.
17:51Oh, thank you.
17:53I thought you might have insurance.
18:02I'm Lieutenant Commander Sherman of the Sea Tiger.
18:05There's a message for you.
18:07The Sea Tiger?
18:08Yeah.
18:10And this time it's signed Admiral Tostin.
18:13Yeah.
18:13You're improving.
18:14There must be some mistake.
18:19I'm Lieutenant Commander Sherman of the Sea Tiger and that's an important message from Admiral Tostin.
18:25Well, of course it is.
18:26Of course it is.
18:27Did you think for a moment that just because it was written on the back of a cleaning slip from the wing-wang laundry would make me think otherwise?
18:35The Admiral was in a hurry.
18:37I demand that you comply with the note.
18:40Well, of course.
18:41Which side would you prefer?
18:42Release Lieutenant Holden and Chief Tostin or no starch.
18:48Lieutenant, you're trying my patience.
18:50Commander, you're under arrest.
18:52What?
18:53What?
18:53Go.
19:00You with him?
19:01Not anymore.
19:05William, what are you doing here?
19:07I'm trying to arrest him to be captain.
19:09Oh, no.
19:10I better get Nick.
19:11Lieutenant, you can release Chief Tostin.
19:14I ain't pressing charges.
19:16You're sure?
19:17I'm sure.
19:20Always love and obey your daddy's.
19:23Forever and today.
19:24Bye.
19:26Meadows, what is Captain Sherman doing in a cell?
19:30Well, he tried to pull another fast one, sir, but don't worry.
19:33I outfoxed him this time.
19:35Release Captain Sherman.
19:37Sir?
19:37Look, this note is signed Admiral Tostin.
19:41Now, look.
19:41Here is a memo signed by the Admiral.
19:45It would appear to me that even you can see that the two signatures match.
19:49All right, hold it.
19:56Hold it.
19:56I can explain everything.
19:57Please don't, Lieutenant, or we'll all be back in the brig.
20:00Now, Captain, all the civil charges have been dropped against Chief Tostin.
20:03Now, if you will just sign this release, we will release him in your custody.
20:06No, I don't think I should do that.
20:11Everyone in this room has tried one way or another to help the Chief.
20:14I don't think he wants help.
20:15In fact, he even resists it.
20:18I think the Chief looks on any help offered to him as a reflection on his ability to do the job.
20:22I don't think he's ever going to change.
20:24So, let's get back to the boat.
20:27You're going to leave him here?
20:29I think the Chief would be happiest working his own way out of the brig.
20:33So long, Chief.
20:34Oh, wait a minute, Skipper.
20:36You've got all that new equipment on board.
20:38And nobody can put it together but me.
20:43With a little help.
20:55Get back.
21:01Did I do that right, Sam?
21:02It's a super job, Edna.
21:03I don't know what I'd do without your help.
21:05Ah, it's okay.
21:06Now, when you get that one connected, help me move this one down here so we can hook it up.
21:11Oh, good.
21:12That's good.
21:14Sam, it's been a real slice of life working with you today.
21:18But, uh, I've got to sack out for a while, okay?
21:21Sure.
21:22Oh, um, Captain, Mr. Hogan, I sure could use your help with this.
21:44Where did we go wrong?
21:45Maybe we should have left him in the brig.
21:47Um...
21:47Maybe we should have left him in the brig.
21:48Maybe we should have left him in the brig.
