Salty Conners and Sparks Johnson, two sailors assigned to a Naval weather observation station on a lonely South Pacific island, have worked out a scheme to earn extra money. They attach notes along with the name and photo of their good-looking superior officer, Lt. Steven F. Smith, to the station's weather balloons, requesting pen pals. Hundreds of women retrieve the notes and respond generously with friendly letters and homemade goodies, which Salty claims as he sorts the stations' mail, while leaving Steve in the dark about his following of well-wishers. Salty and Sparks then sell the homemade treats to the other sailors at exorbitant prices. In spite of the financial success of their scheme, Salty and Sparks have been evading C.P.O. Mike Donovan, who is pressing them to repay a gambling debt. Later, when their unit is ordered stateside, Salty and Sparks pack up the station's materials and hide their savings and the secret pen pal list inside a trunk containing weather reports
