Synopsis
In "Folks From Home," written by series stars Fred Grandy and Bernie Kopell, Doc is fearful of the outcome when he is forced to operate, with ship-to-shore aid, following an accident. When the dignitary scheduled to present a trophy to Capt. Stubing fails to board ship, the frantic public relations representative grooms a love-smitten member of the ship's work gang to take the dignitary's place at the presentation ceremony in "The Captain's Cup," written by Ben Joelson and Art Baer; and a stunning blonde who has heard of Doc's prowess with girls chooses Gopher instead. In "Legal Eagle," written by Gordon Farr, Ben Joelson and Art Baer from a story by Sidney Reznick and Larry Markes, a divorced man, who feels he was taken to the cleaners in divorce court, is initially enraged when he meets his wife's attorney socially.
