A 1957 comedy. The staff of "Yank" magazine are the first Americans back in postwar Japan. When they arrive, they are given the difficult task of writing an issue of the magazine in three days. Short on ideas and having to meet the deadline they enter the black market of Japan. There they come across con-artist, Joe Butterfly. Butterfly shows them the high life letting them live in a mansion complete with beautiful girls. With all regulations being broken, how much time do they have before they get into deep trouble?
