Stormy Weather

Just when Laura, in her own mind, has decided it could be time to take things with Diver Dan a step further, the arrival in town of his ex-wife comes as a real blow.

Dorothy is sassy and beautiful. And she has an inspiring physique. She has returned to Pearl Bay to sue Bob Jelly whose indiscretion has ruined Dorothy's employment prospects in Port Deakin, the nearby boomtown. Laura contends not only with an unusual case but also her growing sense of competition with Dorothy.

It almost looks as though Dorothy is going to be forced to reveal something she knows will ruin not only her own reputation but Dan's also. A "kangaroo court" develops in the Tropical Star, and the locals find a typical Pearl Bay resolution.
