A drifter sees a chance to live off the fat when a girl from a wealthy family takes an interest in him. Then he meets her friend from an even wealthier family and ditches Ellen for Ginnie. His plan is working, but he finds it isn't as much fun as he thought it would be and he keeps thinking of Ellen. He goes back to Ellen and skippers her sailboat to victory in the trophy race.

“The Girl from Yesterday”

At the end of a shipboard romance, Della feels spurned when she tells Sam he loves her, but he can't say it back to her. Now they meet years later with Sam mourning over the death of Mary, who had been driving to Lake City to marry him when her car went off the road. Sam sees Della a lot during the next few weeks and realizes he now does love Della. But then something Della says makes Sam realize that Della knows more about Mary's death than he realized.
