Upwardly mobile and intelligent Wendy Helmann, Executive Secretary, is in Marrakesh with her mother while her boss, Chairman of Kingsley Conglomerates, conducts very delicate, if slightly dubious, takeover negotiations. Morocco is a romantic place, but Wendy finds herself side-tracked from its attractions by the antics of Rita Geddes and a few peripheral problems such as kidnapping, explosions, industrial espionage, murder, and car chases across the High Atlas mountains. Enter Johnson Johnson and his yacht, Dolly.

Johnson Johnson is a wealthy businessman who is known for his adventurous spirit and love of the sea. He has a yacht named Dolly, which is a state-of-the-art vessel that is equipped with all the latest technology and amenities. When Johnson receives a mysterious call from a friend in Morocco, he decides to take Dolly on a trip to the country.

As Wendy and her mother are enjoying the sights and sounds of Marrakesh, they are unaware of the trouble that is about to ensue. Rita Geddes, a beautiful and seductive woman, has her eyes on Johnson and his yacht. She is a skilled thief and has a long history of stealing valuable items from wealthy individuals.

Rita manages to convince Wendy to accompany her on a trip to the High Atlas mountains, where she claims to have a secret treasure. Wendy is hesitant at first, but she is drawn to Rita's charm and beauty. However, she soon realizes that Rita is not what she seems.

As they travel through the mountains, Wendy and Rita encounter a variety of obstacles and challenges. They are pursued by a group of ruthless criminals who are after the treasure that Rita claims to know about. They also face dangerous terrain, including steep cliffs and treacherous rivers.

Despite these dangers, Wendy and Rita manage to evade their pursuers and make their way to the secret treasure. However, they soon discover that the treasure is not what they had expected. It is a series of ancient artifacts that are worth a fortune, but they also come with a lot of responsibility.

Wendy and Rita must decide what to do with the treasure. They can sell it and become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, or they can return it to its rightful owner and help preserve the history and culture of Morocco.

In the end, Wendy and Rita make the difficult decision to return the treasure to its rightful owner. They are grateful for the adventure and the lessons that they have learned, and they are determined to use their newfound wealth to make a positive impact on the world.

As they return to Marrakesh, Wendy and Rita are greeted by a group of reporters and media outlets. They are interviewed about their adventure and their decision to return the treasure. Wendy is proud of what they have accomplished and grateful for the support of her mother and Johnson Johnson.

Johnson Johnson is pleased with Wendy and Rita's decision to return the treasure. He believes that it is the right thing to do and that it will help preserve the history and culture of Morocco. He also recognizes the bravery and determination of Wendy and Rita and is proud to have them as friends.

In conclusion, "The Yacht" is a thrilling adventure story that takes place in the beautiful and exotic country of Morocco. It follows the journey of Wendy Helmann, an upwardly mobile and intelligent Executive Secretary, and her mother as they are caught up in a dangerous adventure that involves kidnapping, explosions, industrial espionage, murder, and car chases across the High Atlas mountains.
