All aboard for mystery and mayhem in this stylishly entertaining cruise-ship comedy. Screwball virtuoso Carole Lombard does her best Garbo send-up playing an alluring Swedish beauty traveling via luxury ocean liner under the name of Princess Olga. Only the ship’s bandleader, King Mantell (Fred MacMurray), refuses to defer to Olga, sensing that she may not be all she claims. When a nefarious blackmailer is found murdered on the vessel and suspicion falls on Olga and Mantell, the two uneasy companions must join together to clear their names.
