Sharkey assembles the men to read a Navy announcement. A talent and beauty contest will be held to pick Miss Topside of San Diego. Each barracks is asked to submit its strongest candidate; the winner picked from three finalists. After nothing comes from the men, Pruitt insists his sister Laura Lee (Maureen Arthur) is "a real Southern belle" and would be a good choice. Sharkey envisions in a dream sequence what she must look like- Pruitt in drag. As a result, Sharkey dismisses her until Captain Buckner demands an entry. Sharkey is shook when Laura Lee arrives as an actual Southern belle. Capt. Buckner and Lt. Whipple soon begins swooning over her as well. Sharkey comes over to her room at night to coach her for the contest, but struggles to control himself.
