While the girls are swimming in the water tower, a bi-plane flies overhead. The pilot, distracted by the beautiful creatures he sees in the water tower, crashes the plane by the railroad tracks next to the hotel. As the injured pilot is unconscious, the family manages to carry him up to the hotel. For all three girls, it's love at first sight with the handsome pilot. What they are able to glean from information in his wallet is that his name is Steve Elliott, he's twenty-four and has an honorable discharge from the air force. Each of the girls do whatever they can to gain Steve's favor while they nurse him back to health. Once Steve regains consciousness and sees the girls, he too will do whatever he can to stay at the hotel as long as possible, even at the expense of his damaged plane and the income he earns from it. Kate and the girls later learn directly from Steve that that income is from crop dusting. However, Uncle Joe believes Steve's a Russian spy. Steve tries to use Uncle Joe's belief to his advantage.
