Tab Hunter is "Hayes" - a beefcake marine sent to lead a mission to destroy an American submarine that has been captured by the Japanese, and that contains a top secret radar prototype. It requires a lengthy submarine trip to get to the eponymous atoll, and needless to say there are some fun and frolics en route. Not least, the rather vivid dreams of "Malzone" (Frankie Avalon) who has a go at singing a rather repetitive ditty "The Girl Back Home"… read the rest.
