While rowing out in the ocean, Mitch rescues an underwater photographer, named Linda, floating on some wreckage. Linda's somewhat disjointed, frantic story about something attacking her in an underwater cave which killed her partner and destroyed her boat is misconstructed by Kay Morgan, an ambitious, publicity seeking newspaper reporter, who creates a media frenzy by starting rumors about a "creature in the bay." Harvey Miller, the new lifeguard and prankster, benefits from the events by selling undersea creature T-shirts. Meanwhile, Shauni rescues a young girl from drowning and soon becomes compelled to rescue the girl, her brother and their mother from the life they live in the slums of South-Central L.A., much to Eddie's chagrin. While Shauni deals with her possessive father who disapproves of her lifeguard job, Mitch also pressures Captain Thorp to ask for funding for new advanced motorboats, called Scarabs, for the team.。战败后的日本,真田(志村乔饰)是名喜欢喝酒的贫民社区医生,他擅长治疗肺结核。一天黑社会头目松永(三船敏郎饰)由于手上受伤找他治疗,谁知被真田看出了肺结核的症状。他劝松永去照X光检查一下,可松永不愿接受自己生病的事实,反而大骂真田一通并争执起来。但是松永回去以后症状越来越严重,拍片后证实确实是肺结核,嘴上逞强的他还是接受了真田的治疗。
