Chadwick "Chad" Gates has spend two years of military service in Europe. Following his discharge, he returns home to Oahu, Hawaii. He is reunited with his girlfriend Maile Duval and his old friends, but avoids his parents for several days. His father is a business executive at a fruit company and expects him to join the business. His mother is a snobbish woman who looks down at his lower-class friends, and disapproves of his relationship with Maile. Chad does not want to work for the fruit company, and instead tries to work as a tour guide. His first assignment is to take care of the young teacher Abigail Prentice and her class of teenage girls. He gets in trouble when the flirtatious girl Ellie Corbett starts hitting on him.—Dimos I
