Jennifer Nelson (Doris Day) is a mermaid swimmer off Catalina Island. Sports fisherman Bruce Templeton (Rod Taylor) hooks her mermaid suit and leaves her without a bottom. Bruce leads a leading gravity space research team. Jennifer is a new tour guide at the research lab. Some suspect that she may be a Russian spy as Templeton puts her to work under him.
This should start by explaining why she's in a mermaid suit. It should take its time introducing her with the glass bottom tour. In fact, she should do more mermaid swimming. I do like their meet cute. Doris Day is undeniably adorable and she has good comedic skills. She is able to put it to good use here. She may be in her 40's but this is more like a flustered twenty-something character. She also sings Que Sera, Sera along with other songs. On the other hand, Rod Taylor is not really comedic in nature. His character needs to do more and he needs to have more fun. All in all, it's a light-weight slapstick rom-com. It's light fun and forgettable.
