Eddie Devane, a born charmer, has used his term in the USNavy, where he's every man's friend and every girl's darling, to set up a lucrative scam at Uncle Sam's expense, counting on the proceeds to pay for the Porsche of his dreams. On 4 July, his discharge day, he is however assigned for SP duty, escorting prisoner Toni Johnson, with grumpy hard-ass sergeant Rock Reilly. That turns out a grueling job as she is clever and determined to escape, and Eddie soon succumbs to her female charms as in time even Rock may. And more surprises follow...

The interior shots of the "navy offices and warehouse" were shot at the Square D Production Facility in Columbia, South Carolina. They also used employees of the plant as extras.

Eddy:
Oh. Somebody's always doin' somebody wrong. On that radio.


Toni:
Oh, cheer up. At least you're not going to jail.


Eddy:
Right.


Toni:
What's on your mind?


Eddy:
I was ready to explode, when you were on my lap.


Toni:
Oh, is this the sweet-talking stage?


Eddy:
You kill me.


Toni:
You're turning me on.


Eddy:
You're wild.


Toni:
I'm ready.

Continuity: Towards the end of the movie, in the bar, Rock's beer and cigarettes disappear and reappear between shots.
