It is a bittersweet Last Voyage for the veteran sea captain (Charles Boyer.)
On the verge of retirement. He can now spend time with his wife in their dream house. It has views of the ocean from three sides of the house. She has spent all these years worrying about him while he was out at sea.
Only the captain gets two messages. One telling him that his wife has died.
All of a sudden, the captain behaves erratically, changing the course of the ship. His crew are worried, maybe the captain has become unhinged with the bad news about his wife. He might want to scuttle ship and go down himself taking the crew with him.
Only it turns out that the other message is about a bomb on the ship. It is intended to go off when the ship arrives in port in Japan.
The captain needs to smoke the culprit out in time, while his crew are suspicious about his mental wellbeing.
A solid story. It was nicely done with the captain trying to wheedle the information about the whereabouts of the bomb out from the culprit.
