When maladjusted orphan Jesse vandalizes a theme park, he is placed with foster parents and must work at the park to make amends. There he meets Willy, a young Orca whale who has been separated from his family. Sensing kinship, they form a bond and, with the help of kindly whale trainer Rae Lindley, develop a routine of tricks. However, greedy park owner Dial soon catches wind of the duo and makes plans to profit from them.

On the new Arrow blu release (and on the previous Scream Factory release), this feature-length making of takes a fresh approach to most similar docs by focussing on the actors and the actors alone. New interviews with all the main cast show the tremendous amount of love all had for the project and how it was Barker's wonderful characters that drew them all in. They spend a significant amount of time with each actor exploring their respective characters, delving deep into each, detailing exactly what each wanted to bring to the film.
