One Thing Right is the tale of a Texas rancher with a flare for poetry and drama. He sees a decaying ship being used as an ornament in front of a seafood restaurant and is offended that it would be condemned to that sort of fate. So he buys the vessel and repairs it just enough for one last voyage. After assigning ranks and positions to each of the neighborhood boys (including his own son), the Captain and his rag-tag crew row the ship to the center of a small lake and give her the burial she deserves.
