Summary
A couple driving along a deserted road to a lake nearly hit a young man, who almost gets run over as he flags down the car. The driver is a self-absorbed husband, the woman is his pretty and bored wife. They take the young man along and the husband, out of the sheer patronizing will, invites him to come sailing on their boat. During the boat trip there is clash of personalities. The husband is a self-made man and is delighted to show off in front of the boy. As an argument unfolds, he knocks the boy overboard. The couple think he has drowned and the husband swims ashore for help. Meanwhile the boy, who has hidden behind the boat, comes aboard to seduce the wife.
