Plot

Former police detective Sam Wye (Fredric March) is on the trail of socialite Kay Kerrigan (Joan Bennett) who is accused of fatally shooting millionaire cad Thomas Bruhme (Sidney Blackmer). Kay has taken a ship to the South Seas followed by Sam, Sam's secretary Jean Livingstone (Ann Sothern) as well as police detectives Ben "Homer" Blodgett (Ralph Bellamy) and George Faulkner (Robert Elliott).

Along the way, through various adventures, Sam and Kay fall in love, as do Homer and Jean. Sam eventually determines that the actual killer was a jealous husband whose wife was having an affair with Bruhme. Kay is thus cleared and free to marry Sam.
