The driver is a self-absorbed husband, the woman is his pretty and bored wife.

The husband is a self-made man and is delighted to show off in front of the boy. As an argument unfolds, he knocks the boy overboard. The couple think he has drowned and the husband swims ashore for help. Meanwhile the boy, who has hidden behind the boat, comes aboard to seduce the wife.
