When Skeet Burns joins the U.S. Marines, he winds up under Sergeant O'Hara , the toughest leatherneck in the Corps. and both men fall for Navy nurse Norma Dale . When they're stationed in the Philippines, Skeet's dalliance with a native girl tips the scale in O'Hara's favor. Reassigned to China, the two must put their differences aside when they're ordered to Hangchow to rescue Norma and the nurses from a bandit leader , whose gang has invaded the city. The first film made with the full cooperation of the Corps, Tell It to the Marines was Chaney's highest-grossing picture at MGM.
