* HelloNurse: The cadets at West Point are practically rioting after Kit shows up on campus. When Dick refuses to write her into the show the cadets are putting on, they remove him as director. All of them leap up like jack-in-the-boxes when she shows up for rehearsal. No one pays attention as Dick is giving them directions because everyone is gawking at Kit.

It starts out with one of the all-time LifeImitatesArt moments in film: a naval and air attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. But it's just a drill! (Remember, 1934. They probably [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII should have practiced more]].) Richard Dorsey (Dick Powell) is a private in the Army stationed on Oahu, with a contentious but generally friendly relationship with his sergeant, "Scrapper" (Pat O'Brien). The routine of Army life in Hawaii is disturbed by the arrival of General Fitts and, more importantly, his lovely daughter Kit (Ruby Keeler). Gen. Fitts seems to think his daughter a match for a junior officer, Lt. Biddle, but she is drawn to Pvt. Dorsey.

Fitts seems to think his daughter a match for a junior officer, Lt. Biddle, but she is drawn to Pvt. Dorsey.
Dick gets assigned to be Kit's driver. Instead of going to the Army ball she's supposed to attend, Kit prevails on Dick to take her on a moonlit drive around Oahu, which involves a luau, which then involves Dick and Kit cuddling on the beach, which then ends with the two of them being caught by Fitts and Biddle. Dick narrowly avoids a court-martial, but when Lt. Biddle sneers that "an officer and a gentleman" would not have gotten caught in such a position, Dick is affronted. He decides to apply to West Point and become an officer. Dick is accepted at West Point and does very well there--until Gen. Fitts arrives at West Point to be commandant, with Biddle and Kit in tow.
