Plot

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.
