After much hard work, John Philip learns to stay put and Edward becomes the first Duck Master at the hotel. If Edward can train John Philip to swim in the hotel fountain all day (and lure in more customers), Edward and the duck can stay. The blustery manager makes Edward a deal.
Edward has to look after the scrawny duckling during the week, so he risks the ire of the hotel manager by taking John Philip with him.
