Instructional film to give junior naval officers a basic understanding of the psychology of their men, and how it affects performance. People have "wants," apparently, although the film gets confusing when it says that "wants" are also "needs." If people can't satisfy these wants, or can't escape negative environments, they can act out in unconstructive ways. Points out that Officers can be a big pain, and that the officer who ignores his men's problems can be causing problems for himself.
