...rescue: one of the kids gets into some dire difficulty and is saved by the prospective groom. When Uncle Red Buttons brings over a lot of surplus weather balloons and rigs up a harness so the boys can try gravity-free "moon-walking," little Grover (Peter Robbins) breaks tether and is soon soaring over San Diego and out to sea. Instantly, much of Southern California is in a state of emergency. An aircraft carrier, a fire engine, a fleet of patrol boats, an LST, swarms of helicopters, jets and amphibian planes, an ambulance, police cars and a posse of excitable...

Abstract expressionism, which went...
...niece falls in love with the boy anyway. Desperate, the stevedore resorts to slander: "He marry you he gotta da right be American citizen." Indignantly, the girl decides to marry the boy. At that the stevedore's obsession, like an elephant in musth, snaps the fraying tether of human feeling that restrains his frenzy. He betrays the boy and his brother to the immigration police. Too late the poor brute perceives that in betraying his friends he has betrayed himself, that in embracing the past he has forfeited the future, that in refusing to change he has agreed...
