Although Michael has matured well since the first film, he still feels that by birthright he deserves to start at the top of his father's law firm, whereas his father tells him that he will start him as a job clerking in order to learn the profession top-down. Michael takes a summer vacation with Tommy to
Australia . Michael has big plans to show his cousin Tommy a good time aboard a luxury yacht, until he discovers that the yacht he chartered is actually an old, rusty fishing boat. But when modern-day pirates (led by Frakes, who stole Michael's wallet and discovered his family is very rich) chase the fishing boat, the boys are forced to jump ship, leaving them stranded on a desert island with the boat's captain, Jake Hunter, who scuttled the fishing boat to lose the pirates, and admits he hated being a fishing boat captain. In the end they escape in the pirates boat and leave them stranded on the island. As they escape they call for the Australian Coast Guard help. The pirates are arrested and their speedboat is seized, then given to Jake Hunter as a reward. Jake decides to go into the charter boat business, and Tommy meets up with his mother in Sydney. Michael, who also meets with his father, learns there is no royal road to success in business and accepts his father's offer of being a clerk at his firm in order to prepare him for law school.Cast
