Led by their dedicated Scoutmaster, Mr. Johnson, the boys are excited to experience a taste of adventure amidst the backdrop of war. However, the crew of PT-73 is less than thrilled to have a bunch of energetic youngsters running amok in their already chaotic environment.
As McHale and his crew reluctantly take on the role of Scoutmasters, they soon realize that the well-intentioned Boy Scouts are more than they bargained for.
