Story
Three hilarious sailors Gaby, Chip and Ozzy received the long-awaited dismissal in New York. They should have time to complete the planned program of the “visit” in 24 hours - to see all the sights, museums, and, of course, get acquainted with the most beautiful girls. During his first trip in the subway, Gabei sees the Miss Metro poster on the wall of the car and falls in love with the girl pictured at first sight. His friends each find a mate and only Gabei continues to look for a charming stranger in a big city. In the end, he finds her and her name is Ivy Smith. After a series of adventures, three couples gather at Coney Island before breaking up. The guys go sailing, and a new batch of sailors arrives in the city on dismissal.
