*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Morale is down, men are fighting each other, Nurse Molly is painfully aware it isn't "Paris, Waikiki or Cape Cod", there's no place to go on liberty, no reason to grant it.
Captain Binghamton gives McHale the "dull, thankless job" of reconnoitering Takajima. He and his crew find an abandoned coconut plantation, furnished and with a piano. They transport a mash tub and still, call it McHale's Island Paradise, a going concern.
Binghamton isn't fooled by its appearance in the guise of a base hospital, on inspection. He and McHale drink to the latter's impending court-martial. The island is shelled by the Japanese.
Back at the base, Capt. Binghamton is awarded a commendation for engaging the enemy. He has to decide which looks better on his record, and drops the charge against McHale.
