In "Operation Petticoat," two brash, playful Marines, Spike and Bat, are sent behind enemy lines on the Korean front to recover vital intelligence from a dying Korean agent. With the agent’s final words, they learn the secrets are hidden in the hem of a dress belonging to his granddaughter, Lotus Blossom, a young woman they now must protect on their perilous journey back to camp. Along the way, their camaraderie is tested by near-misses with enemy forces, playful pranks, and their ever-present eye for the ladies.
In "Arabian Nightmare," a botched diplomatic move sends a Marine squad to the Middle East to secure oil rights, sparking a high-stakes rivalry with a Russian emissary, Boris.

In "Blue Plate Blossom," the legendary Lover O'Leary, known as the pre-eminent gal-hound of the United States Marine Corps, takes two shy, young chowderheads under his wing for a night on the town. The trio spends their time wandering through the lively streets, their eyes drawn to the sight of busty, leggy Good Girls in little clothing.
