Plot Summary
In this drama, Lloyd Nolan plays a reporter who is dismissed from his job, primarily due to distractions from his fiancée, portrayed by Nancy Carroll, which causes him to miss an important story. Despite his setback, Nolan is determined to prove his competence. Acting on a tip, he believes that the murderer of a local district attorney plans to escape via a luxury liner. Nolan, accompanied by his photographer, Harry Langdon, and Carroll, embarks on the journey. During the voyage, not only does he manage to identify the killer, but he also aids in apprehending a group of jewel thieves. Harry Langdon, a former silent film comedian, infuses the narrative with moments of humor, providing a lighter touch to the otherwise intense plot.[2]
