Synopsis:

A Swedish princess boards an ocean liner in Europe en route to an acting career in America, and finds herself getting inconveniently attached to a bandleader returning home. To complicate matters, a blackmailer on board apparently knows she is not who she claims to be - and he has his sights set on other passengers with secrets of their own. In the meantime an escaped killer has stowed away under someone else's identity, and is killing again to cover his tracks; five international police detectives on board are heading the investigation to find him. When evidence points to the princess and bandleader, they must find the killer themselves - before he finds them.

A mixture of screwball comedy and murder mystery, a Swedish princess with a secret (Lombard) and a concertina-playing band leader with a past (MacMurray) board the liner Mammoth, bound for New York. An extortionist, an escaped killer, and a group of police detectives are also aboard. When corpses begin appearing, the characters must identify the killer ... a task which is complicated by their own deceptions.

A Swedish princess (Carole Lombard) from Brooklyn falls for a bandleader (Fred MacMurray) on an ocean liner rocked by murder.
