In the days before the Pearl Harbor attack, nearsighted bookkeeper Henry Limpet is declared 4F and unfit for military service. He thinks it might be better to live life as a fish. A visit to Coney Island finds him somehow turned into a fish, specifically a tuna, and from his unique underwater vantage Limpet is able to provide invaluable service to the U.S. Navy. Animation mixed in with live action sequences; pleasant and funny comedy around a role ideally suited for Don Knotts.
