Abroad with Two Yanks

William Bendix and Dennis O'Keefe star as Marines Biff Koraski and Jeff Reardon in this featherweight service comedy. While both are in leave in Australia, Biff has a date with attractive Joyce Stuart (Helen Walker), who has never met him but wants to thank him for having saved a family friend. He takes pains to conceal this from ladies man Jeff, who has often stolen women from him. When he hears that Joyce is looking for Biff, he poses as his friend and goes with her to meet her family. Biff then arrives at their house and turns the tables on Jeff by quietly telling the family that he's only suffering from a delusion that he's Biff. Joyce and Biff go for a ride, leaving Jeff dumbfounded. The next day, Biff amusedly tells Jeff that the Stuarts think him insane. Playing on this, Jeff calls Joyce, and posing as a doctor, explains that Jeff is a schizophrenic who needs to be humored, so she decides to go out with him. Later, that night Biff proposes to Joyce, who, not too surprisingly, rejects his offer. Developments continue in this vein for quite some time. This is a mildly amusing, fast-paced farce with enough plot for a dozen movies, with Bendix good, as usual. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)
