Richard Arlen ("Houston/Jim") deserts from the US Navy only to re-enlist (under a pseudonym) after Pearl Harbor is attacked. He is assigned to a minesweeper where he must defuse these lethal obstacles to shipping in the Pacific Ocean. That's the exciting bit. The rest of it is a bog-standard melodrama with him falling for "Mary" (Jean Parker) and engaging is some rather dull sparring with fellow seaman "Nash"…
