What will her grandpa do now without the lighthouse he calls his 'Dear Old Girl'?
A big storm is brewing, but when Big Frank and Millie try to warn them, the fishermen take no notice. But they need Big Frank's help when the storm sweeps in, and he needs Millie's, when the lighthouse lamp goes out...
