The Love Boat season 3 episode 10 features five different stories that take place during a week-long cruise on the Pacific Princess. The first story, "Critical Success," follows a successful perfume entrepreneur named Wilfred Burns, who falls ill onboard the ship. Dr. Bricker tries to convince him to slow down and take care of his health, but Wilfred is more interested in his business than his well-being.
In "The Love Lamp Is Lit," a TV repairman named Al Stubbs is hired by the crew of the Pacific Princess to fix a lamp in the captain's quarters. Al has a crush on Judy, one of the ship's passengers, but he's too shy to ask her out. With a little encouragement from the crew, Al musters up the courage to pursue his love interest.
"Take My Boyfriend, Please" follows a young woman named Debbie, who is trying to find the perfect man to impress her friends. She latches onto a man named Roger, who is looking for love on the cruise. However, Debbie's pushy behavior causes Roger to reconsider their relationship.
In "Rent a Family," a successful businessman named Richard hires a family to join him on the cruise. He hopes that his colleagues will be impressed with his family life and his ability to balance work and leisure. However, when his real family unexpectedly arrives on the ship, Richard must face the consequences of his deception.
Lastly, "The Man in Her Life (1)" introduces us to Connie, a woman who is traveling on the Pacific Princess with her new fiancé, Joseph. However, when Connie's ex-boyfriend, Rick, shows up on the ship, she begins to realize that she may still have feelings for him.
As with all episodes of The Love Boat, the stories intertwine as the characters interact with each other throughout the cruise. With a mix of comedy, drama, and romance, this episode is sure to entertain audiences of all ages.
