After meeting a beautiful Girl (Jadie Rivas) in Marina del Ray, the Optimist finds himself in competition with a Rival (Richard Booker) for her affections.

First in kite flying, then surfing and eventually in a sword fight, which starts on Santa Monica beach and takes them on a Hollywood duel, through a car wash, across Sunset Blvd, on the steps of Hollywood High School, outside Paramount Studios gate, and hanging off the Hollywood sign. Exhausted, both duellists collapse on the beach and watch the Girl walk away hand in hand with the Seconds.
