Based on Frederick Hazlett Brennan's play Battleship Gertie, Miss Pacific Fleet is a short and snappy "gobs and gals" affair. At the urging of gold-digging showgirls Gloria Foy and Mae O'Brien, goofy promoter Augustus Frietag comes up with a "Miss Pacific Fleet" contest, with each 10-cent purchase at a seaside amusement park representing one vote. Hundreds of sailors participate in the voting process, including Kewpie Wiggins, who hopes that his "goil" Gloria will emerge the winner -- whereupon she and Mae will confiscate the money collected and skeedaddle to New York. Naturally, there are a few snags in this scheme, especially when the girls both fall for handsome marine sergeant Tom Foster. -Hal Erickson, allmovie (less)
