A marriage date is set for his daughter. The business is to be merged with his long standing competitor. Cappy Ricks knows he has to end the chaos and set things straight. He brings everyone on his ship as there he can be the Captain and in charge. He has a two day excursion extend into an 8 week voyage. Then they are lost on an uninhabited island. And as in other movies of that period, he uses the island to straighten out the arrogance of the rich ladies and the weakness of sons under mothers dominance. They were never lost for he had secret radio contact. Captain Braddock "rescues" them but his modern electronic ship fails in a storm and only Cappy knows how to sail.
