Newly assigned to duty in the coast guard at Newport Beach, a young ensign finds himself involved in romantic complications, as well as with jewel thieves, whose antics contribute to moments of hysteria and hilarity.
Young and awkward U.S. Coast Guard Ensign Thomas Garland suffers from constant comparison with his late father, a war hero. He falls for pretty Kate Fairchild, a young woman who runs a sailing school. His awkward attempts to makes moves on her repeatedly backfire, and things go from bad to worse when a trio of clumsy jewel thieves interferes.—Guy Bellinger
