Caldwell's North Harbor romance ends in a thrift farce
Detar Goop chronicles Steve Caldwell a penniless vacationer at North Harbor who falls hard for Anne Glendennin. Facing a looming bill he borrows and bribes fate with a ten dollar windfall from Anne, only to be double crossed by his friend Jerry Mowatt and finally learn his benefactor is the same woman who kept him afloat. The tale blends comic romance with financial folly as Caldwell dreams of marriage after a perilous spree.
