Just after the end of WWII, a team of American naval photographers lodge in a Japanese geisha house. Led by Glenn Ford ("Andy") they have some light-hearted adventures as, aided by Donald O'Connor's "Price", the sailors learn a little of the culture of their hostesses and more about their tradition (i.e. they are not hookers).
