Navy club steward with low medical grade is turned down by the navy, but gets in by mistake when a sailor friend borrows his only suit of clothes and he is obliged to wear the sailor's uniform. Following a case of mistaken identity he becomes involved with enemy agents based in a taxidermists shop, and foils their attempts to blow up a British warship.

Leslie Halliwell's Film Guide
A medically exempt waiter dons uniform and catches a ring of spies.
Formula star comedy, too long and too familiar.

After serving in the Home Guard in Get Cracking and in the Air Force in It's In The Air, George finally joins the Navy and entertains throughout with a good 'spy' plot which must have cheered up the beleagured Brit cinemagoers in the war years.
