Not to ship experts or fish experts but to power experts did Franklin Roosevelt go for advice on Bonneville's "incidental" problem.

Philip Trent (Edmund Lowe), a movie actor wearied of his acedetective role in mystery films, boards a ship for a vacation cruise. On the steamer he meets Phyllis (Elissa Landi), author of many of his scripts, and together they get involved in the murder of a wealthy man and the disappearance of his famous diamond.
