Plot
Cap'n J. "Jeri" Jericho tows garbage for the U.S. Navy, and, inspired by a radio financial advisor named Milton J. Bunsey, lives a very frugal lifestyle to acquire a bigger boat. He finds himself frequently encountering Sally Driggs, a taxi-dancer, who keeps ending up in his net. Sally, who has recently lost her father, lives with shopkeepers Peck and Mom Wealin, and cares for an orphaned baby, Barney, as if it were her own son. Jeri and Sally make furtive attempts to better their circumstances while ultimately becoming smitten with each other.
