The Seventh Day
About The Seventh Day
John Alden Jr. comes back to a New England fishing village and is told to take the family boat. A yacht with a New York party limps in on bad pumps. John is drawn to Patricia Vane, who is engaged to Reggie Van Zandt, and Reggie starts paying attention to John's sister Betty. On Sunday the yacht crowd plays cards while the Aldens go to church. Patricia goes ashore, ends up in the service, and John rows her back. When he learns she is engaged, and that Reggie has taken Betty onto the yacht, he knocks Reggie down and fetches his sister. Reggie and Patricia break the engagement. Reggie tells Betty he loves her. Patricia goes to John.
