Navy enlisted man Jason Beckman reluctantly agrees to stand as best man for his Division Officer at a high society wedding. Joyce, his last minute accommodation date, changes from tolerating the imposition to being charmed by the unaffected Jason. He is smitten with her, while she is cool to the idea of forming any type of relationship even though they spend the following week together at her Boston apartment. Jason goes to sea and at a port of call in St.Croix he encounters a second wealthy young lady who is very much interested in developing a relationship with the sailor. This is a nice romantic story set in the techy and sex deprived life of a submarine sailor. Decide for yourself who is the Polar Bear
