==Plot== Gunner's Mate Second Class Joe Brady and Seaman First Class Clarence Doolittle are United States Navy sailors who have a four-day leave in San Diego, which they decide to spend in Hollywood. Joe has his heart set on making up for eight months at sea with his girl, Lola. Clarence, a shy choir boy turned sailor, asks Joe to teach him how to get girls. Donald, a little boy who wants to join the navy, is found wandering around the boulevard by a policeman, who takes him to the station. Clarence and Joe end up being picked up by the police to help convince Donald to go home. After the two sailors wait at home and entertain the little boy, his Aunt Susie arrives. Clarence is smitten with the beautiful, friendly young woman from the beginning. Susan goes on to tell them that she has been trying to become a singer, and longs to perform with the famous pianist and conductor José Iturbi. Trying to impress Susan with Clarence, Joe lies that Clarence is a personal friend of Iturbi, and can arrange an audition for her with him. That night they go out to a café, where Clarence meets a girl from Brooklyn and they hit it off. The next day Joe visits Donald's school and tells the kids the story of how he earned his medal, by bringing happiness to a lonesome young king (portrayed by the animated [[Jerry Mouse]] from [[Tom and Jerry]]) and joy to his kingdom. Meanwhile, Clarence and Joe's attempts to meet Iturbi (including at the MGM studios, the Hollywood Bowl and his home) fall flat. When all hope seems lost, the pair seek to come clean with Susan and tell her there is no audition, but fail at doing so. On their last day of leave Susan runs into Iturbi in the studio commissary, who has no idea who she is. Devastated, she tells him the whole story. Taken with her charm, beauty, and sincerity, he agrees to get her a screen test, which turns out smashing. The movie ends with Iturbi conducting the Navy band while its choir sings "Anchors Aweigh" and Joe and Susan, and Clarence and the "Girl from Brooklyn," kiss.
