Nick is handling the sale of his friend Alan Crispin's restored luxury yacht, the Alibi Wahoo, which is priced at $56,000 and which Crispin spared no expense in restoring. Upon first sight, unemployed Pat, who believes that working for wages gets one nowhere in life, falls in love with the boat and wants to buy it to start a luxury charter business. He is certain he can raise the money somehow to buy it. He believes that source of cash will be from his grandfather, as Jack has just inherited his just deceased friend Bert's downtown property, a warehouse that is at least worth $75,000. Pat feels that his grandfather owes him as much as he does everything for him, and has never asked for anything in return. Pat does whatever he can to initiate both the sale of the warehouse and the purchase of the boat. But Jack loves the warehouse, which is filled with musical memorabilia, and which is a comforting getaway for him from everyday life. As such, Jack contemplates keeping it as his retreat. Jack has to decide if he will fulfill his own or Pat's needs and wants. Someone else may ultimately decide what happens in this matter, but which may ultimately fulfill both Jack and Pat's desires... sort of.
