Jessie Chandler is a work-a-holic. She runs one of the most prominent gyms in Ventura or Malibu. She tells Gail Marshal, one of her employees that her aunt keeps inviting her to go boating with a man called Captain Jack (Jack Crawford). Jessie never goes, she’s too involved with work, but after her talk with Gail, where Gail explains that many men are preying on elderly women to take their money, Jessie decides she’ll take a Saturday off and go check this man out.
The boat will look wretched on the outside, but parts of the inside will be immaculate–he’s restoring it. They will take a trip out to Santa Cruz Island or San Miguel Island–a storm will approach, bang the boat up some, bang Aunt Tilly’s head knocking her out and then Jack and Jessie will get deeper into the love/hate aspects of their relationship.
