love with a pretty 19-year-old artist named Laura. But by the time
Jack returned to the States, Laura (ABBY DALTON) had disappeared
without a trace. Now in town on business, Jack hoped to look up
his long lost love but has failed. Jack enlists Billy's aid to
locate Laura, who turns out to have an art gallery in Sausalito.
Laura fails to recognize Jack, who buys one of her watercolors and
lures her into a dinner date at the St. Gregory, where they dined
thirty-five years ago.
