Opening narration

ynopsis

Six years into a troubled marriage, a young couple hopefully embark on a second honeymoon and their last chance at reconciliation. They board an old ocean liner, the Lady Anne, for a 14-day crossing from New York to Southampton, England.

The couple, Eileen and Allan Ransome, soon realize that all the other passengers are elderly and their vessel seems to be following a meandering course. Quarrelling aboard the ship, they decide to divorce when they return home. Then Eileen disappears.

When her husband finds her again, Eileen is wearing the nightgown that one of their fellow passengers wore on her honeymoon. The Ransomes find their love rekindled and are dancing in the ship's ballroom when the Lady Anne's engines suddenly stop. The captain enters and informs the young couple that he is putting them off the ship, telling them that there isn't time for lengthy explanations.

Despite their objections, the captain and the other passengers are adamant that the Ransomes cannot continue on the ship. The Ransomes are forced into a lifeboat stocked with provisions and set adrift in mid-ocean while the Lady Anne speeds away never to be seen again.

Closing narration

Trivia

This was the last episode actually written by Charles Beaumont. Although there would be other episodes credited to Beaumont later, according to "The Twilight Zone Companion", these episodes were ghostwritten, primarily by Jerry Sohl, as Beaumont was seriously ill.

Cary, North Carolina Christian Metal outfit Passage of the Lady Anne take their name from this particular episode.
