This one is a romance, set aboard a cruise ship back in the swinging 20's. Or at least it would be if the cast could stop bickering among themselves, the stage crew could pick up their cues, and any of the actors could remember what they were supposed to be doing or saying on the stage. Despite that, they struggle through the plot.

Constance sailing to Naples to marry Beauregard, meets up with a childhood sweetheart Noel. As Beauregard is secretly also on board, the ensuing love triangle developes on the voyage, inevitable shipwreck, sojourn on a desert island, and eventual rescue.

Nobody is quite sure how it finished though. That part gets rather overlooked amidst the chaos.

(It's a comedy by the way...)
