Navy Blues (1941)

Hold Everything for THAT WONDERFUL WHIRLWIND OF GOBS, GALS, and GLEE!

On a layover in Hawaii, two conniving Navy seamen borrow money to wager bets that their ship will win the upcoming gunnery practice trophy, having found out that the current champ has just transferred aboard their ship. What they haven't realized, however, is that the marksman's enlistment is up before the contest is supposed to take place.
