Synopsis

Gold-digging actress Verna Wilson demands money from a financial theatrical backer by falsely threatening to tell his wife that their relationship is more than professional. After he pays up his son Dick discovers that Verna is part of a gang of blackmailers and is now fleeing the country on an ocean liner. He boards the ship along with his chauffeur and the two pose as wealthy playboys in order that Verna will attempt to play the same trick on them. Dick and Verna instead fall in love, but things are complicated by the presence of her associates on board the ship, leading to a murder.
