He has quit college and taken a job with the National Air Ship plant to earn money as soon as possible. He feels Marcia s wealth has put her in another social class and that it is driving them apart. They go for a ride, and Marcus in his usual bungling manner hits a taxi. Marcia is getting ready for her three month cruise, and she and Dick have their first quarrel. He goes to see Marcia the night before she leaves and gets her to promise she will not marry Banks before they meet again.
Banks drops by and the three get along quite well.
Dick releases Marcia from her promise, and they kiss goodbye. Both she and Patsy are tired of hearing his line of devotion. The trip is slow because they are trying to reach Honolulu by sail alone on the Ashton yacht. Banks proposes to Marcia. She does not really say, no, but mentions a slight preference for Dick.
