Flipper's New Adventure

Sandy Ricks is asked to vacate his home to make way for a new highway but runs away from home to keep his pet dolphin Flipper from being taken away. His dad, Porter, widowed since the prior film, returns from park ranger school to search for Sandy but doesn't realize his son has fled in their skiff motorboat to the Bahamas. On the way, Sandy runs out of food, water and gas. Flipper helps by towing the skiff to a seemingly deserted island. Just as Sandy is establishing himself with food and fresh water on the island, and has found a cave to hide from aerial search patrols, he witnesses the holidaying British family of Sir Halsey Hopewell being taken hostage by recently escaped convicts. The mother, Julia and two daughters Gwen and Penny, are forced into a small boat and told to row to the nearby island where Sandy is hiding.
