It's the summer after Pearl Harbor. The world is at war and America is sending her men to
fight overseas. Wives and sweethearts stay behind. Teenagers Hermie, Oscy and Benjie raid
the Coast Guard station, frolic on the beach on Packett Island and sneak looks at "dirty
pictures" from a medical book. The war's effects soon touch 15-year-old Hermie. He finds
himself falling in love with the beautiful Dorothy (Jennifer O'Neill), who is 7 years older
and married. He worships her from afar, enduring his friends' teasing and his own confusion.
When her husband goes overseas, Hermie befriends Dorothy, helping her with chores, such as
carrying her groceries to her house and placing boxes in the attic. Hermie comes to manhood
unexpectedly, when Dorothy finds out, that her husband has been killed in action. Touching,
but discreet scenes.
