After being let go by her employer, April Lopez (
Charo) plans to move back home to Mexico. She wants to become an American citizen but always gets nervous and crumbles during the oral exam. A passenger, Judge Kramer (
Esther Rolle), is summoned to help her take the citizenship test. George and Phyllis Cowens (
Don Porter and
Barbara Billingsley) treat their adopted son Jimmy (
Michael J. Fox) to a cruise as a high school graduation gift. Jimmy mistreats Gregory Steven Leonard (
Gregg Henry), who is one of the ship's waiters. Animosity develops quickly between the two, who soon learn that they have a connection. Inexperienced young Abby Foster (
Mary Beth McDonough) wants to have her first time with a man and meets handsome fellow passenger Neil Holmes (
Brodie Greer). But whenever they become intimate, she breaks up laughing and kills the mood.
