Jerry Lewis plays Gilbert Wooley, a clumsy magician, who is unable to get work in the U.S. and as a last resort signs up for a USO tour of Japan. With Louis's usual comic bumbling, Wooley is followed by trouble and soon get in trouble with the military, the Japanese and Lola Livingston, the USO's lead performer. However, in the mist of the confusion Wooley befriends a shy Japanese boy and falls in love with the boy's widowed mother. Even Wooley's rabbit has some good comic scenes.

There is one brief scene where the boy is shown nude from the rear.
