Description "Nonno is an old Italian fisherman who has fished the waters around Sydney since arriving in Australia as a boy of 15. He believes his enviable catches are due to his luck and never allowing a woman on board his boat. On day a girl called Jackie came to the pier in search of a job on a fishing boat. She found out that Nonno was looking for a young deck hand, who of course, had to be a boy. Jackie disguises herself as a boy and gets the job. Then one day a series of mishaps lead Nonno to discover that his deck hand is actually a girl. He blames her for the problems of the day..."
