Professor Russell Lawrence complains that surfing has become an obsession with Gidget. Pointing to his involvement in his professional duties, Gidget persuades her father to spend time at the beach with her. There Russ meets Sally Combs, an attractive woman in her mid-thirties. Gidget becomes alarmed by her father's interest in Sally, especially when Larue refers to Sally as a gold digger. When Russ takes Sally to dinner, Gidget gets really worried. Her efforts to arouse Anne and John fail, particularly when John, echoing her father, says that she is projecting herself into a mother role. At a late hour, when Russ doesn't return, Gidget, imagination working overtime, decides he has met with an accident.
