Can a lady from Little Rock find happiness with a mature French planter she got to know one enchanted evening away from the military hospital at which she is a nurse? Or should she just wash that man? Bloody Mary is the philosopher of the island and it's really hard to believe she is the mum of Liat who has seized the heart of Lt. Joseph Cable USMC. Sailors and nurses placed to a musical comedy series while waiting for action in the warfare in the South Pacific. The warfare gets closer and the saga of Nellie Forbush and Emile de Becque becomes play.
