Summary

"So you got stuck on this island, eh?" says the Beachcomber, a short man with straw-like hair and piercing eyes. Taken aback, the young American couple from Southern California wonders what he means. They are the new owners of a split-level house overlooking a picturesque, long harbour in the Canadian Gulf Islands. The wife believes the island to be an Eden and convinces her reluctant husband to buy what she calls "their dream house."
