After evading the officer, Candy is discovered by advertising executive Addington Collar, who hires her as the "Jungle Soap" girl for a major campaign, promising she'll pose alongside a famous male model. The story concludes with Candy selected for the lucrative modeling opportunity, which is presented as the prize of winning a school-girl complexion competition sponsored by the soap company.
When Candy's fortune is read by a tea-leaf reader, she learns she'll soon meet a romantic sailor—and by pure chance, a charming admiral appears in landlocked Hartwick looking for directions! But Candy's newfound romance puts her at odds with Ted Dawson, who's been dating Cornelia Clyde, and when Candy tries to spy on them at the amusement park, things quickly spiral into chaos at the rental boat ride. A mix of romantic mix-ups and slapstick mishaps leaves Candy and Ted's relationship hanging in the balance—and very much in the water.
When Gabby Hyatt challenges the wealthy Philip Smedley to a sailboat race for the chance to take Taffy O'Toole canoeing, he and his pal Peahead think they're outmatched—but they've got their own tricks up their sleeves. What starts as a friendly competition quickly devolves into scheming and sabotage, proving that sometimes the sneakiest sailor wins the day.
When Candy asks Ted to meet her at a specific street corner, a simple mix-up sends him careening through town in search of her—crashing into Officer Clancy not once but twice in the process. As Ted's misadventures pile up and land him in hot water at the police station, Candy discovers that his troubles might just solve her own problem in the most unexpected way. A lighthearted romp about missed connections and lucky breaks that proves sometimes getting lost is the best way to find what you need.
When Candy's record changer malfunctions during a repair job with Ted, it sends her prized records flying—and now Ted has to make it right.

When word reaches Ted Dawson that Candy is "getting married," he barrels into the photo shoot at the Hartwick Plaza Hotel to stop the wedding, turning the whole production into absolute chaos. What follows is a hilarious collision between a publicity stunt and genuine teenage romance gone wrong.
