Hayley Mills and John Mills star in this family pleaser that has adventure, piracy, buried treasure and romance. An American widower and his 18 year old daughter live on a Caribbean houseboat. When they invite the nephew of a millionaire to join them on their voyage, romance and action hop on board too. The nephew’s former business partner arrives and together they embark on a dive to discover buried treasure. James MacArthur (Hawaii Five-O) co stars. Also known as “The Truth about Spring”, after Hayley Mills’ character, Spring Tyler.
