A young man and a minister are fishing, with the former wishing for a speed boat upon seeing a Triumph boat whiz by in the lake. Thanks to a mysterious character, a boat is released from a truck trailer onto a nearby mountain road. The boat is hit by another truck and knocked off a cliff onto the like right in front of the two fisherman, leading to the lad to thank the lord for his new power boat.
