    World War II navy buddies (John Wayne and Lee Marvin) have made the French Polynesian island of Haleakaloha their post-war paradise. Local headquarters is Donovan's Reef, a rough-and-tumble watering hole where bragging, brawling, and full-blown misbehavior are the order of the day. But destined to create more turmoil than any barroom fisticuffs is the sudden arrival of a straight-laced Boston blue blood (Elizabeth Allen). She's hoping to locate her long-estranged father (Warden), affirm that he is 'not of good moral character,' and then assume control of the family's shipping dynasty back home in the States.
