Winner Take Love / The Congressman Was Indiscreet / Isaac's History Lesson

John Whitcomb (Dick Van Patten), a congressman unjustly accused of being involved in a scandal, seeks refuge aboard the Pacific Princess in "The Congressman Was Indiscreet," written by Jack Matcha. During the cruise, Whitcomb befriends Robin Brant (Vicki Lawrence), a clever, attractive reporter for a tabloid newspaper. In "Isaac's History Lesson," Vernee Watson plays Stephanie Hayden, a lovely intellectual snob who is at odds with Isaac over a wonderfully colorful old passenger named Mr. Gibson (Scatman Crothers). Stephanie feels that Mr. Gibson sets "a bad example." Series regulars Bernie Kopell and Fred Grandy wrote the script. Maureen McCormick plays a beauty pageant contestant whose chances of winning are jeopardized by the presence of her possessive boyfriend, played by Bobby Sherman, in "Winner Take Love," written by Kevin Hartigan and David Garber. Graham Jarvis portrays the beauty contest chaperon, Waldo.
