Film Synopsis

At a seaport in the south of France, five sailors set off on shore leave, determined to amuse themselves.  The five friends agree to go their separate ways and meet up in half an hour's time at an inn with a girl.  The one who turns up with the least attractive girl will be the one pays for their round of drinks.   Jean, a dreamer and the least likely Don Juan of the group, surprises his friends when he appears with the most attractive girl - Yvonne, the young serving girl at an inn named La Belle frégate.  Whilst Jean tries to make a good impression by showering Yvonne with presents, his friend René sets out to impress her with his physical prowess...
