Waikiki Wedding

The movie opens with Tony Marvin, a publicity agent, in a romantic Hawaiian setting. The atmosphere is set with a Hawaiian song during the opening credits, and Tony joins his friend Shad and pet pig Walford at a native wedding ceremony, establishing the tropical locale and festive mood.

In the Imperial Pineapple Company boardroom, President J. P. Todhunter defends Tony against neglect accusations, highlighting Tony’s initiative in creating the 'Pineapple Girl' contest as a publicity stunt. The contest offers the winner three romantic weeks in Hawaii, which aims to generate press publicity.

Georgia Smith from Birch Falls is announced as the winner of the Pineapple Girl contest. She and her friend Myrtle, however, quickly become bored and consider returning home, prompting concern from the company about negative publicity.

Tony attempts to boost the girls' spirits by singing 'Blue Hawaii' outside their bungalow, aided by a Hawaiian chorus. Mistakenly believing Myrtle is Georgia, Tony later helps her repair her shoe and unintentionally tips her into the water, leading to humorous misunderstandings.

Myrtle and Georgia are stopped from leaving Hawaii after a stranger gives Myrtle a sacred black pearl to smuggle through customs. Tony and Shad arrive unexpectedly to help, learning the pearl must be returned to a local shrine to prevent a volcanic eruption.

Tony, Georgia, Myrtle, and Shad set out in a native boat to return the sacred pearl. During the trip, Tony has arranged to keep Georgia from returning home and writes glowing press reports in her name, also sharing a duet of 'Blue Hawaii'.

On the island, Georgia offers to return the pearl, but the high priest insists she wait for the priest’s arrival. During the ceremony, Georgia performs 'In a Little Hula Heaven', while other characters entertain with songs and native drinks, amid volcanic activity.

The high priest declares the pearl to be a fake and arrests Georgia. Tony, understanding the danger, incites the natives to simulate volcanic activity, helping Georgia escape. The group hurriedly returns to their boat amid volcanic smoke and rumbling.

Georgia finds her fiancé Quimby and her uncle waiting, who explain she has been misled. Meanwhile, Tony regrets his actions and tries to reconcile, promising marriage before Georgia decides to return home again after being tricked.

Quimby is tricked into a police clash and gets arrested, as does Uncle Herman, while Shad is also detained. Tony attempts to fix things by visiting Georgia and... whistles 'Sweet Is the Word for You', but gets ejected from the ship after being reported.

Myrtle, disguised as a dog, pays Shad's fine to free him, and Tony manages to reunite with Georgia after a charade involving an old lady pretending to be his mother. They reconcile, and the film ends with the singers performing 'Blue Hawaii' and 'In a Little Hula Heaven'.
