Shirley's memories of a high school romance are stirred when Navy Capt.
Charles Corwin arrives in town. She sees the Captain's picture in the
newspaper and recognizes him as "Cuddles," an old flame.
Laurie invites the Captain to dinner. He and Shirley are happy to see each
other again, and the kids are favorably impressed -- except for Danny. He is
upset by the Captain's romantic reminiscences.
When Keith and Danny overhear part of a phone conversation, they think Capt.
Corwin has a girl in every port, and their mother will get hurt. So, when
Shirley and the Captain go out the next evening, Danny and Keith are in hot
pursuit in the family bus -- all the way to Muldune's Point!
