Captain Creeg has great apprehensions about his next cruise on the S.S.  Flounder.  It’s sink or swim for the old schooner, as the mysterious owners of the line are aboard the old ship to decide her fate.  As if that wasn’t enough pressure, the cruise falls on June 10, a day the suspicious old sea salt has always dreaded!  Passengers arrive for the singles’ cruise, including a famous romance novelist looking for inspiration for her next novel, her chronically depressed secretary still pining for a lost love and a pair of small-time hoods as stowaways hoping to escape a big-time hood, Big Edie, who of course is also on board in pursuit.  Did we forget to mention the prince posing as a gangster to look for a bride because he believes showing a tough exterior is the best way to a woman’s heart?  You can just imagine all the trouble in which he quickly finds himself!  To add to the mayhem, a pair of tired old ladies flutter about the ship while a domineering mother tries to make her socially deprived sons more sociable, only to discover they become too social for her agenda! Step aboard the S.S. Flounder and wash away with tides of laughter as mistaken identities, lively chase scenes and a storm that almost set the entire cruise aground!
