Affairs of Cappy Ricks

Cappy Ricks, a crusty old sea captain, returns home from a long voyage to discover that his family and his business are in chaos--his daughter is set to marry a nitwit that he can't stand, and his future mother-in-law has taken over everything and is set to merge his business with that of a rival company. Worst of all, though, is that she--in the interests of 'progress'--has completely automated his beloved ship, 'Electra'!. He sets out to put an end to all this foolishness and comes up with what he thinks is a foolproof plan.
