Isaac and the Mermaids/Humpty, Dumpty/Aquaphobic is a delightful episode from Season 4 of the classic 70s TV series, The Love Boat. The show follows the lives and loves of the passengers and crew aboard a glamorous cruise ship called The Pacific Princess.
In this episode, we are introduced to a trio of mermaids who have somehow found their way onto the ship. As the passengers are lounging by the pool, they start to hear strange singing coming from the water. When they investigate, they are surprised to find three beautiful women with fish tails, who introduce themselves as mermaids.
The mermaids are fascinated by Isaac, the bartender, and they insist on spending time with him. Isaac is intrigued by their exotic charm, but he soon learns that dating mermaids can be complicated. They have their own unique customs and preferences, which can be confusing to someone unfamiliar with their ways.
Meanwhile, we meet a man named Humpty, who has a reputation for being accident-prone. He seems to be cursed with bad luck, and everyone on the ship is wary of being near him for fear of being caught up in his misadventures. But when Humpty starts to fall for a woman he meets on the ship, he decides to take some drastic measures to break his streak of bad luck.
Finally, we meet a woman named Marcy who is terrified of water. Despite the fact that she's on a cruise, surrounded by the beautiful ocean, Marcy can't bear to even look at the water without feeling panic and dread. When she meets a handsome stranger who offers to help her overcome her fear, Marcy is skeptical but intrigued.
