Four Navy wives create mayhem as they follow their men around the Riviera.

Four young women pool their resources to buy a dilapidated French car and follow their husbands and boyfriends aboard the U.S.S. Independence from Cannes to its next port of call on the Italian Riviera. Bonnie Pulaski, a bride of only 2 hours, cannot bear to be separated from her radarman husband, Billy. Liz hopes to persuade her husband, Comdr. Ben Bradville, to take a land-based job so that they can raise a family. Wealthy Toni Denham and a French girl named Michele are both seeking Lieut. Peter Langley: Toni wants him to marry her and form a business partnership with her father, while Michele, it is revealed, is a bill collector seeking payment on a sheaf of unpaid bills. Things do not go well when the fleet followers arrive in Italy. Billy, restricted to ship, is furious with Bonnie for refusing to stay home; Ben has been given another seagoing command; and Peter rejects Toni and romances Michele. The romantic entanglements are straightened out at a grape-crushing festival when Toni falls in love with Lieutenant Smith and relinquishes Peter to Michele. All ends happily as Billy and Bonnie meet and are reconciled, and Ben decides to give up the sea to become a land-based husband.
