Something for the boys: The Hart cousins - Blossom, Harry, and Chiquita - inherit Southern plantation Magnolia Manor, which proves to be a 'termite trap' and tax liability. They decide to turn the place into a hotel for army wives and put on a show to pay bills.
You're in the navy now: Lieutenant John Harkness is given a command of his own ship, but the thing is that he is never commanded a vessel ship before and all his crew is new. The only good thing about this situation is that only two old deck hands know how to operate the boat.
