- An odd assortment of criminals steals a mothballed Liberty vessel to use it as a getaway after a planned bank robbery in Boston.
- A bungling burglar, determined to go down in the annals of crime as a genius, steals a ship in New York in order to rob a bank in Boston. He steals a mothballed Liberty ship, assembles a nitwit band of meatballs and sets sail on his crazy cruise for crime. To "drive" the ship they shanghai an inept ex-Navy officer who somehow manages to bring them through a hurricane, a fire and a mutiny.—alfiehitchie
- Hapless but earnest Gilbert Barrows of Harrison Industries is trying to convince his boss, company President Simon J. Harrison, that it makes sense to refurbish the Liberty ships docked in New York Harbor rather than junk them, Harrison who plans to take a tax loss in doing so. Gilbert's initiative is in he wanting to prove to Harrison that he is husband material for his daughter, Elinor Harrison, they awaiting her father's approval before getting married. As much as he is frustrated by Harrison usually dismissing him, Gilbert is more frustrated by Elinor's no sex before marriage policy. Without telling Harrison, Gilbert proceeds to hire Atlantic Marine Shipfitters to refurbish one of the ships for a few thousand dollars to show that it can be done inexpensively and thus should be done. What Gilbert is unaware of is that he inadvertently hired a group of criminals instead led by Bugsy G. Foglemeyer who wants to steal the ship to commit a crime to end all crimes in Boston, as such he going down in the annals of history for carrying out the perfect crime. Much like Gilbert's, Bugsy's aim is to prove himself to the world, he up to this point as hapless as Gilbert in life in general. In sailing from New York to Boston, Bugsy, who, in addition to his criminal gang, has brought along his vivacious girlfriend Virginia and his naive nephew Rodney along for the ride, the latter who had no idea of his uncle's criminal plans. In the process, Bugsy has to kidnap both Gilbert and Elinor to take along on that voyage to Boston. Above the planned crime and Gilbert and Elinor trying to escape, what plays out in their collective confinement aboard ship is is a battle of the sexes within and between both couples as an impending hurricane threatens all else.—Huggo
