A Russian submarine commander on patrol decides he wants to see what America looks like and as part of his training routine, brings the sub closer to a small island in New England. The sub captain accidentally grounds the submarine on shallow waters, and is forced to leave the sub and go onshore to try and find a vessel that help to get the sub free. Lt. Rozamov (Alan Arkin) leads the boarding party. The first house they encounter is Walt Whittaker (Carl Reiner) a New York man who is on vacation with his family. The group tries to pose as tourists too, but fail. Rozamov is forced to hold the family hostage and leaves one of his men to guard the family and a cute neighbor girl. This sailor falls in love with the neighbor girl. The group eventually frees the sub, but Rozamaov and the sailor in love, are delayed onshore. The sub commander threatens to blow up the town if the two are not brought back to the submarine. But a little boy in peril, brings the Russians and the townsfolk together in a humorous but fun ending to the film.
