Surfer Billy unwittingly joins the crew of a modern-day pirate ship trolling for tuna. When Billy protests that dolphins are being killed during the process, he's left at sea. A dolphin saves him, and he joins two young environmentalists on their crusade against the pirates. Dixon (a creator of Flipper)'s passion for the subject comes through, despite some melodramatic dialogue.
