Filmed entirely in Florida.
The story: Henry is a mild-mannered guy who loves his tropical fish...
It is a time that all men are expected to enlist in the Navy as WWII is dealing with Nazi subs.
But the Navy will not take Henry as he is considered 4-F....
Henry can't think of anything more than his fish really even if his wife and best friend only want him to be enrolled in the Navy.
One day while out by the seaside with his wife and friend, Henry is in full daydream about being a fish.
