Synopsis
Three sailors, Mike McGann, Bill and Gravel, are on shore leave in New York and go the beach to have fun. There, Mike, who fancies himself a ladies' man, finds two young women and leads them, Gravel and Bill to a float anchored off a private beach. Soon, wealthy Alex Winters and his girl friend, "Pat" Rockland, swim toward the same float. Frustrated with Pat's foul mood, however, Alex decides to swim back to shore without her. Peeved, Pat screams as though in trouble, and Mike dutifully dives in and "rescues" her. After pulling Pat to shore, Mike recounts the story of her "rescue" to her well-heeled friends, and news of Mike's "heroic deed" eventually reaches the newspapers. Now aware that Pat is worth twenty million dollars, Mike pretends to Bill and Gravel that he has a date with her and goes to her Newport, Rhode Island mansion. There, Pat's birthday party is in progress, and Mike is eventually invited inside. Mike's outrageous behavior amuses Pat and her friends, but Alex is jealous and knocks him down. Pat insists on driving Mike back to his boat and listens as he announces that he is quitting the Navy to go into big business. Two weeks later, Mike, having left the Navy, reappears at Pat's home. She takes him to her uncle's investment house and insists that he be given a job. Although Mr. Rockland is skeptical and starts Mike as an errand boy, he soon is impressed by the sailor's work. Unaware that Pat has bet Alex that she can "make something" of him, Mike begins giving unsolicited advice on how Pat should live her life. Angry at Mike's meddling, Pat leaves him cold and disappears. While searching for Pat, Mike learns about the bet from one of her girl friends. Enraged, he gets drunk and drives to the mountain lodge where he has been told Pat is staying. There, Mike forces his way into the lodge and confronts Pat and Alex with their deed. After upbraiding Pat, who had just accepted Alex's proposal, Mike knocks out Alex and drives off in a fury. In his recklessness, Mike crashes into a tree and is taken unconscious back to the lodge by a passing doctor. Eventually Mike regains consciousness and quietly leaves the lodge. When Pat discovers his absence, she chases after him and finds him slumped by a tree. Back at the lodge, a contrite Pat protests her love to Mike, and later, the newly married couple take off on an ocean liner bound for Honolulu.
