Michael O'Hara, against his better judgement, hires on as a crew member of Arthur Bannister's yacht, sailing to San Francisco. They pick up Grisby, Bannister's law partner, en route. Bannister has a wife, Elsa, who seems to like Michael much better than she likes her husband. After they dock in Sausalito, Michael goes along with Grisby's weird plan to fake his (Grisby's) murder so he can disappear untailed. He wants the $5000 Grisby has offered, so he can run off with Elsa. But Grisby turns up actually murdered, and Michael gets blamed for it. Somebody set him up, but it is not clear who or how. Bannister (the actual murderer?) defends Michael in court.

Michael salva Elsa e la accompagna a casa. Michael le rivela di essere un marinaio e apprende che Elsa e suo marito, l'avvocato difensore parzialmente disabile, ma ricco e famoso, e molto più vecchio di lei, Arthur Bannister (Sloane), sono appena arrivati a New York da Shanghai. Stanno andando a San Francisco attraversando il canale di Panama. Michael, attratto da Elsa nonostante le perplessità, accetta di prendere lavoro come marinaio a bordo dello yacht di Bannister. Stregato dalla gelida Elsa che rivede sdraiata sulla tolda del panfilo di Bannister, Michael accetta con la segreta speranza di poter intrecciare una relazione con lei e portarla via dal vecchio marito.
Fascinated by gorgeous Mrs. Bannister, seaman Michael O'Hara joins a bizarre yachting cruise, and ends up mired in a complex murder plot.
