Samantha, a lone sea lion, somehow ends up in Florida's waters. Two wild dolphins, Diver and Dodger, befriend her. The three play and fish together almost every day. One day the dolphins invite Samantha to go with them to meet some children who live beside a salt-water pond with their mother, a veterinarian, who runs a marine mammal rescue center. Samantha is afraid if she goes with them, they will capture her and put her in a cage. She soon learns the children will not harm her. While on her way to play with the children, Samantha gets caught in a drift net. The dolphins, the children and the veterinarian rescue her. Now Samantha, Diver and Dodger swim in a pod with their friends, the children.
