There's a lot a new Ranger can do to mess up, but messing with Bud and Flipper are probably the lowest things! First, the new recruit tries to shoot Flipper, believing he's a dolphin. He expects to approach Sandy and get a big thank you, and instead he gets yelled out. Sandy tells him he better hope Bud never finds out.
If that's not bad enough, the guy builds Bud up to hero worshiping him, then takes Bud with him on the boat. Bud tries to advise the young ranger not to go in a certain area where the beautiful girl is because he could run into rocks, but he didn't listen and lost a whole net full of fish for a nice, poor, old fisherman. Porter bawls him out, not only for what he did, but also for involving his son in the mess.
Then something happens and he gets to see a for-real shark experience!
