Plot – Sandy Ricks is upset about his parents' probable divorce and is entrusted to his uncle Porter, who now is the only and rude owner of a semi-wrecked fishing boat and lives in a ramshackle cottage just a few meters from the sea. Porter roughly receives the boy: the first day he shows him a cot and provides him a kind of meal. The next day, after an improvised breakfast, Porter assigns Sandy his first job as a clumsy ship's boy. A solitary dolphin becomes his new friend, together with Kim, a local girl. When the dolphin is captured by Sheriff Buck and biologist Cathy, Sandy lives a great distress that softens Porter's attitude. The dolphin however reappears during a fishing and Sandy calls him Flipper.
