In this enigmatic melodrama, a father, his daughter, and her lover are all out at sea in a small sailboat for an pleasurable cruise. The daughter Alice is earnestly telling her father that he should not be so serious, and should enjoy life a little more. Before long, a serious storm has blown up out of nowhere, and Alice is swept overboard. Alice's lover impetuously dives overboard to try and find her. Later, the father is rescued by a cargo ship. In one of the two endings included in the story, the two lovers were also picked up by the cargo ship. Relieved, the old man decides to take a cruise on the ship rather than returning to his job. The film's other ending is not so benign. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
