Synopsis
Broker Hamilton Forbes, jealous of his secretary Elizabeth Kennedy's love for his partner Van Buren Courtland, frames Courtland for forgery. When a bribed witness cracks under questioning, Courtland is released. After Courtland leaves to find the witness to clear his name, Forbes convinces Elizabeth that Courtland is dead, and she accepts Forbes' proposal. When Courtland sees the engagement announcement, he returns and boards the ship on which Forbes and Elizabeth are honeymooning. Larkins, a reporter, follows. After Forbes is killed, Courtland is suspected. The next night, the deck steward Patton, who earlier was sent to prison because of Forbes' false testimony, is murdered, and an attempt is made on Courtland's life. During a mutiny, the reappearance of the mysterious shotgun responsible for the previous deaths saves the captain's life. After Larkins is wounded, he discovers the shotgun in passenger Frank Marshall's room. Marshall confesses murdering Forbes because Forbes seduced and abandoned his now deceased sister. Because Patton witnessed Forbes' killing, Marshall murdered him also. Courtland and Elizabeth now plan to marry.
