Binghamton finds out about the crew's upcoming Follies and puts an end to it, forcing them to take him to a Comfleet conference. But when they get hit by a Zero, the 73 is forced to put in at a Japanese island to refuel... and the crew tries out their acts disguised as Japanese minstrels.

Parker knows a visiting war correspondence and convinces him that Binghamton is "Jolly Wally," who laughs in the face of danger. However, when Binghamton overdoes it, the Navy sends a psychiatrist to check him out.
