John Ford directs John Wayne in this romantic comedy; their last film together. Wayne plays Michael Donovan who, with his ex-Navy pals Thomas Gilhooley and William Dedham, has ended up on a South Pacific island after the war. Donovan runs the bar, Gilhooley hangs out there and Dedham is the island doctor, married to one of the locals. But trouble threatens their paradise when Dedham's estranged daughter Amelia arrives with news that he's heir to the family's shipping company: but he could lose the inheritance to her if he's seen to be living in an "immoral" way. As Dedham is away on an emergency, Donovan convinces her that he's responsible for Dedham's children and, while he maintains the subterfuge, the beauty of the island and its way of life get under Amelia's skin, as do Donovan's romantic overtures.

Starring as "Thomas Aloysius 'Boats' Gilhooley"
