Two young ladies (Dorothy Granger and Carol Tevis) are out with their aunt, looking for rich husbands. And, to make sure there are nothing but rich folks, they hang out in a swank resort. However, they are broke and can't even afford the lunch they just ate....so they come up with a clever way to skip out and then set out in search of rich guys. The aunt discovers two well dressed guys and introduces them to her nieces...not realizing they are crew members on the big yacht...not the owners. Nonsense ensues.

This is a clever short and it's a shame that it's very unlikely you'll ever see it unless you get the DVD of the Tevis/Gallager/Brewster shorts from Alpha Video. Well made and fun.
