Plot

A new radar antenna codenamed R.A. 19 X is to be installed in a small garrison town on the Norwegian coast. The antenna is guarded by a group of soldiers. Three of them signed up for this task so they can play dance music at the Victoria Hotel when they are on leave. They are attracted to the colonel's daughter Maja, who is employed in the hotel's kitchen, but who has learned to handle joking men in uniform. Some hotel guests seem to be keeping a close eye on everything. A certain John Miller is in contact with the suspicious Bredesen, who has connections with people that show up in places where they have no business being. Dramatic, joking, and romantic scenes are played out on the rocks close to the military area.
