- Tod and Buz, traveling along the California coast, go to work as "shark hunters" for a doctor using sharks as lab specimens to study the effects of cholesterol. The doctor, working under a research grant, has an unhappy jealous wife who wants him to return to private practice. Their son is caught in the middle of the turmoil.—dubchi
- In Southern California, Tod and Buz begin working on the fishing boat of Walter Duncan, a research scientist who most call Doc. They initially balk at the work, which they believe was advertised falsely, as what Doc and his assistant Liz Penfold need help in catching are live sharks. They begin to do the work under protest, but end up relishing it when they learn Doc uses the sharks as part of his important research to understand and thus treat cholesterol. Liz is devoted to Doc and the work. They soon learn that Doc is married with a child, Helen and Chet Duncan respectively. Helen feels like the neglected wife, she hating their life especially as she is isolated with no other adult companionship while Doc is doing his research, which also leaves her to do all the child rearing on her own. She hates their life even more since Doc makes no money on this self-financed research, while he could have gone into a lucrative medical practice. She knows that to the outside world she comes off as the shrewish wife, but she doesn't care in her frustration and her want for a better life for both herself and Chet, who nonetheless dotes on his father. Tod, who ends up spending most of his time with Helen, and Buz, who ends up spending most of his time with Liz, get both sides of the story, each side which has valid points. They try to help the Duncans in more ways than just on the fishing boat, but Doc and Helen may have to help themselves by figuring out the priorities in their lives, which includes a child.—Huggo
