Things seem to be going swimmingly for Mr. Peabody (William Powell, THE THIN MAN) - then one day his life takes a whimsical turn. While fishing, he snags a beautiful mermaid (Ann Blyth, MILDRED PIERCE). in a flight of youthful fancy, the stodgy Bostonian falls for the mermaid and takes her to a pond at his villa.
