Sailing School For Woman
The Boatniks is a 1970 American comedy film starring Robert Morse, Stefanie Powers, Don Ameche and Phil Silvers. It was made by Walt Disney Productions.
Plot
Young and awkward, Coast Guard ensign Thomas Garland suffers from the comparison with his late father, a war hero. Which does not prevent him from falling for pretty Kate Fairchild, a young woman who runs a sailing school. Of course the way he expresses his deep sympathy for the lady leaves to be desired. And the situation does not improve when a trio of bumbling jewel thieves interferes.

The film opens with a a joke, as it shows U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Jordan (Joey Forman) responding to a half-brained plea for help from sailors whose compass has been thrown off by a can of beer. This is the type of poppycock, we assume, that the Coast Guard has to put it up with on a regular basis and it is one of the job perks that is driving Jordan to transfer to a new station. He is handing over the reins to Ensign Tom Garland (Robert Morse), a polite but remarkably clumsy fellow who will now report to Commander Taylor (Don Ameche), a man who fought in war with Garland's father and holds him in high regard.
The film divides its attention two places. Through a series of countless silly gags, we see Garland's ineptitude as the area's new skipper. He repeatedly flounders in tending to the various minor issues plaguing the crowded waters' impatient travelers. It also doesn't take long for him to set his eyes on Kate Fairchild, a "girl next door" type who runs a local boat rental and sailing school spot on the coast.
Meanwhile, three mobsters are conspicuously bumbling their way to Mexico while listening to reports of their pursuit. There's ringleader Harry Simmons (Phil Silvers) who dons a suit that makes him a "commodore" and dispatches orders to his two lackeys, the especially slow one Charlie (Mickey Shaughnessy) and the forgettable third party Max (Norman Fell, who would go on to "Three's Company"). This trio has somehow managed to steal a collection of jewels, and they intend to smuggle them inside an assortment of casually-hollowed food. They decide to rent a boat from Kate to make their way south of the border, which is especially bright since none of the three know how to sail.
The Boatniks follows Tom's nautical misadventures and romance, while at the same time, keeping us informed of every move that the birdbrained jewel thieves make. With Kate's suggestion that the crooks' suspicious behavior might indicate criminality, she and Tom naturally begin to suspect that they are indeed the three men reported about in a newspaper article which coincidentally happens to be face-up in a wastebasket being passed. Of course, Tom is right about the evildoers, but Commander Taylor doesn't believe it and so the facts presented to the viewer need to be unwound by the protagonist to obtain some neat kind of redemption that is truly undeserved and highly uninteresting. With gag after gag this comedy plays out in a harebrained fashion.
