Plot

In the bustling world of the Marine Corps, Lt. "Wild Bill" Traynor, notorious for his rebellious antics, descends upon a San Diego Marine Base. To his surprise, he finds himself assigned under the stern watch of his arch-rival, Captain Benton. While simultaneously dodging the affectionate advances of the fiery Latin dancer, Rosita, Bill finds himself entangled in a romantic whirlwind with Benton's captivating fiancée, Dorothy Manning. The impending marriage is accepted by Benton, but a chaotic encounter in a Tia Juana gambling den on the eve of his wedding results in Rosita's disappearance, and a heartbroken Dorothy calling off the wedding. Stripped of his honor, Bill gives a disgraceful resignation from the Marines, only to reenter the ranks as a humble Private. His journey takes him to Ponta Miguel, where fate reveals that Dorothy's father is the governor. The plot thickens as Benton, his ever-present nemesis, imprisons Bill, igniting a burning vengeance in him. However, upon his release, Bill is met with the shocking news that Benton has been captured by a notorious jungle bandit, The Torch.

All the while, he battles not just the physical enemies, but the ghost of his past disgrace, and a love triangle that threatens to unravel at the seams. Will he rise above the turmoil and reclaim his honor? Or will he succumb to the onslaught of his personal and professional rivalries?
