Worried that her widowed daddy Russ (Don Porter) is working too hard, Gidget (Sally Field) suggests that he spend a relaxing day watching a surfing contest at Malibu. But Gidget soon has reason to regret her suggestion when Russ makes the acquaintance of the beautiful Sally Combs (Marian Collier), who has all the characteristics of a (shudder!) gold-digger. Harvey Korman makes a brief appearance as a police officer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
