Plot: Harry and Neal are financially hard pressed and decide to spend the summer at the beach. They gain employment as clerks at the Seabright Hotel. Days pass and still no pretty girls come to the hotel and the boys are getting discouraged. Finally one day a peach arrives with her mother and at once the boys attempt to get in solid. Neal succeeds in making a date with her, and she promises to meet him on the beach in the afternoon. Here Neal's hopes are wrecked, for the peach meets the sun-kissed hero of the beach, the lifeguard, and immediately she loses interest in Neal. Harry, although he sees no chance of winning the peach himself, is not willing to resign in favor of the lifeguard. He learns that the hero of the beach is married, and going to his house tells his wife of his attentions to the fair sex on the beach. She, accompanied by her four children, are very indignant and go with Harry to see her husband's behavior for herself. Arriving at the beach, Neal frames with an old fisherman for a false rescue and shows up the phony lifeguard, who refuses to go after the fisherman. Neal makes the rescue and at once becomes the center of attraction for all the girls. Harry and the lifeguard's family arrive just as a fitting climax to the day's happenings, and while the disconsolate guard is taken away by the wife and numerous progeny, Neal attempts to force his attention on Betty, whose interest is now centered in the half-drowned Joe. She exists with him, leaving both her erstwhile lovers disconsolate.
