Summary
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of The Old Maid, this story tells of the events that transpire when a handsome young aviator is forced down in the Thousand Islands near the home of three charming young people and their two cousins.

When the youngest girl takes the attentions a little too much to heart, there is near tragedy but life goes on when the pilot takes back to the sky.
