Carole Lombard, doing her best Greta Garbo impersonation, plays a Swedish princess traveling from Europe to Hollywood on a transatlantic ship. When a dead body shows up in her cabin, she enlists the help of musician Fred MacMurray to cover it up and find the murderer. A group of world famous detectives happens to be on board and they join the investigation. The mystery is rather obvious and the romantic subplot tedious, but it's all in good fun. Cinematographer Ted Tetzlaff does manage to add the occasional expressionistic touch through the use of shadows and fog.
