Two rowdy Navy noncommissioned officers have one week to escort to prison a young sailor who tried to steal forty dollars and has been sentenced to eight years. They take a liking to the slightly obtuse young man and decide to teach him how to live, drink, fight and womanize. Nicholson and Otis Young take care of Randy Quaid in a wicked and cheerful buddy movie, written by the great screenwriter Robert Towne.
