Captain Buckner reluctantly orders Sharkey to host a CPO of the Japanese Navy, Tanaka (John Fujioka, who ironic to the episode title, later appeared in the film "Pearl Harbor") coming to observe US training procedures. Sharkey comically can't help but slip ethnic insults before he arrives. When Sharkey learns a new radio installation is being constructed on the base he suspects the Japanese visitor may be a spy. As the visit continues, Sharkey's suspicion grows. Indeed, Tanaka begins acting in a clandestine manner, leading to a comical revelation.
This episode merges Season One's insult comedy with Season Two's more plot-centered situational comedy to good effect.
