Despite butting heads, Owen and Lacie are spurred on by their shared hatred of Toronto, and hatch a plan to go live at her grandma’s rundown home in Brockville, which they plan to fix up.īut they don’t have any money between them, so they start coming up with a variety of hair-brained schemes in an attempt to make some quick cash, desperately trying to track down the $98 that they need for bus tickets. The former is a drunkard living in the boiler room of his brother’s (Kristian Bruun) bar, and the latter a drug-addicted hooker whom he first encounters passed out on the bathroom floor. For Cappy's sake, the couple agree to live in his mansion.The latest from Canadian director Jeremy LaLonde, The Go-Getters is a dirty and raunchy low-budget comedy that follows Owen (Aaron Abrams) and Lacie (Tommie-Amber Pirie). Cappy finds them rowing back to land.īill negotiates an end to the strike, and Cappy decides to send Skinner to Shanghai instead. Margaret follows him, and the captain drops a lifeboat. When the captain of the ship refuses Bill's request to turn around, Bill jumps overboard. Then Cappy receives word that his men have gone on strike, and they trust and will only negotiate with Bill. He buys up all the staterooms in the ship Bill is to take, but Bill and Margaret get married and manage to sneak aboard the ship anyway. When Bill insists on marrying Margaret immediately so she can accompany him, Cappy does his best to stop him. Cappy is so impressed, he offers Bill a promotion to manager of his Shanghai office. Cappy and Skinner have pre-arranged all sorts of obstacles to make the task impossible, but Bill overcomes them all, and by hocking Margaret's ring to help pay the $1000 price of the vase and persuading a Navy pilot friend (on his honeymoon night, no less) to fly him ahead of the already departed train, he succeeds. He gives Bill instructions to buy it whatever the cost and bring it to him at the railway station by eight o'clock. Cappy telephones Bill and tells him he saw a vase he liked, but could not spare the time to purchase it. He and Skinner go ahead with the 'blue vase' test, a test everybody has failed, including Skinner. When he tells Cappy of his plans, however, the widowed Cappy is adamantly opposed to losing Margaret's company. With his commission from his trip, he buys an engagement ring. Meanwhile, Bill and Margaret fall in love. Not only does Bill sell all of the spruce, he also generates orders for all of the lumber the company has and more, all in a single business trip across the western United States, forcing Cappy to send him to Seattle to buy the shortfall from a hard-negotiating competitor. He and Skinner decide to give Bill the hardest task they can think of: selling a half million feet of unwanted skunk spruce Cappy bought years ago as a favor to a friend. Cappy, who is frustrated with the way Skinner and Peasely have been running the businesses he built up, is quite willing to countermand them. She sees her father first, and asks him to give Bill a chance. He assumes she is also a job seeker and makes a date with her, unaware she is Cappy's only offspring.

While waiting in the reception area, he encounters Margaret again. Undeterred, Bill seeks out Cappy Ricks, the retired founder of both companies. Matt Peasely, head of a shipping firm in the same building, is more polite, but the answer is still the same. He tries a lumber company run by Lloyd Skinner, interrupting a meeting between Skinner and his fiancee Margaret Ricks. He goes looking for employment, but jobs are scarce in San Francisco. Bill loses a leg as a result of the crash and leaves the Navy. When the US Navy rigid airship Macon is damaged in a storm and crashes into the water (as the real USS Macon did in 1935), helmsman Bill Austin stays with his commanding officer until the rest of the crew has gotten safely away.
