When Wesley approaches, Tom puts his arm around him and says tomorrow he will teach the boy how to repair a propeller. Falconetti sees the father and son pass by him in the night. College students show up at Rudy's house to protest and Julie answers the door, drunk and naked. The students make copies of the photos taken of her, so Rudy goes to the newspaper office and starts throwing stuff around, causing a shelf to fall on a student. The developing chemicals go into her eyes. Rudy asks Julie if they really try, could they be put back together. Tom and Kate get married and are expecting a baby; Rudy and Julie attend the wedding. After the wedding, Julie sneaks out in the night for a drink and is joined by Falconetti. When it's reported to Tom that his sister-in-law is in town drinking with Falconetti, Tom goes to get her. Tom tells Kate that the good thing is that he could have killed a man, but didn't. Tom is attacked on the dock in a set-up.

In California at Uncle Harold's, Tom falls in love with the housekeeper. Julie gets a small part in a Broadway play, where Rudy goes to see her and finds her with a married man.

Finally Tom confronts Falconetti after the third mate is assaulted by him and the other man now remembers where he saw Tom fight. Tom is told he must get off ship when they get into the New York port. Tom discovers Rudy has been looking for him, due to their mother's change in health. On her death bed, Mrs. Jordache apologizes to Tom, saying that maybe she gave too much to Rudy and there wasn't enough left for Tom, but Tom says it's OK and that he loves her. Tom discovers that Rudy invested the $3000 he tried to give Rudy and today is worth about $48,000. He calls his friend, the third mate, and tells him they have their boat.
