Synopsis:
Dickie and Dan are sailing when a squall destroys part of the rigging and they have to cut and paste to get a single sail up and running. They spy a P.T. boat and are offered a tow back to Seattle. They accept, but the boat pulls them in a different direction. When Dan points this out the men aboard get surly and threaten them with the on-board machine guns. Dickie distracts them while Dan fires off a rocket flare, which gives him a chance to cast off the tow rope. But the boat turns back and heads toward them.
