Synopsis: | This rowdy, realistic saga of a group of American sailors aboard a Navy cargo vessel in the Pacific shows the crew suffering from that deadly boredom that is part of the routine of war. To the ship's company, the Skipper is a cantankerous, small-minded man and every one of them conspires against him as the ship pursued its runs from Apathy to Tedium and back again. They are on a cargo mission, so little else is going to happen. That Mr. Roberts, [a lieutenant] shared the crew's dislike for the Captain was one reason for his popularity. Roberts joined the world to fight; he hates being inactive almost as much as he hates the Captain. Privy to the crew's hijinks against the Skipper, Roberts still feels it's his duty to retain some discipline. After winning many ingenious battles against the Skipper, Roberts at last wins himself a transfer to combat duty. It was this transfer that cost him his life on a destroyer off Japan. | |||||

Synopsis: | When the lovely Lucy Andree Ramsdell is told by her practical business advisers that she must drastically alter all the traditions and extravagance of her individual way of living, she refuses to believe that a mere matter of debts could possibly endanger her home or gracious habits of hospitality. She does, however, make feeble and ineffective gestures in the direction of economy. But it is no use; everything that made life pleasant and leisurely begins to crumble, and Lucy finds herself powerless to act, or even to think, effectively. Meantime, modern "progress" takes over. Wisteria Plantation will soon be only a memory, and Lucy begins to realize what is happening. As she takes a look out of the window of her old home she muses: "We're ridiculous people! We're jokes! We don't even know how to keep a roof over our heads." | |||||
