- An older man finds a teenage stowaway in his bathroom. Julie falls for one of her brother's friends, whose cabin mate urges him to pursue her. Julie hires inept painters to paint the Captain's suite in his favorite color.
- Will Geer is pitch perfect as the irascible old gentleman who finds a fifteen-year-old girl, who is a stowaway in his bathroom. There is lots of banter between him and the scamp, Bayn Johnson. One of Julie's (Lauren Tewes) brother's friends (Anson Williams) is looked at with interest by Julie, no longer a young scamp, herself, with braces. His cabin mate is an older Lothario (Tom Poston), urging him to put the moves on Julie. Julie arranges for two "professional" painters (Pat Morita and Arte Johnson) to paint the Captain's (Gavin MacLeod) suite with his favorite longed-for color, "Singapore Sunset Saffron".—lemoviecritic
- THE OLD MAN AND THE RUNAWAY concerns crusty 75-year-old curmudgeon Franklyn Bootherston, who befriends Nancy Brown, a 26-year-old orphan running away from her fifth set of foster parents. A FINE ROMANCE plagues Julie, who is in love with her brother's best friend Sean McGlynn and makes no secret of it; yet Sean is unresponsive to her advances. THE PAINTERS are Ronald and Vincent, two inept laborers trying to repaint Captain Stubing's quarters in the custom-made color Singapore Sunset Saffron, but they keep messing it up.
