Beach bum and rebel Christopher Jones is given the option of jail or tuna clipper when he is arrested. It turns out he has a real talent for spotting tuna at sea, although the task seemed pretty simple on film. He can also herd porpoises with no training at all. Meanwhile back on shore his girl Susan Strasberg waits to get married. They finally take the plunge one day in Peru. Her father sternly objects, and as luck would have it he gets hired on dad's ship. Miraculously they save each other's lives one day at sea and it all works out. Too much romance and contrived plot devices, not enough sailing and fishing.
