The young skipper Will Parker wants to defend the America's Cup for the USA . He receives an offer from ship owner Morgan Welds to compete against the Australians in the America's Cup with his yacht Radiance . That puts Will Parker in a dilemma because his girlfriend and sailing partner Kate is not allowed on board. She leaves him - and the cup is also lost. With the help of Kate and her new boyfriend, he has a new boat built: the yacht Geronimo . Kate's participation ensures victory for the Americans at the last moment.
