Among those present are Canon Pennefather, Kay's guardian, and Jacqueline, who has been dogging their footsteps all through the honeymoon. During the voyage Jacqueline works herself into a state of hysteria and shoots at Simon, wounding him in the knee. A few moments later Kay is found shot in her bunk. By the time the boat reaches its destination, Canon Pennefather has laid bare an audacious conspiracy and has made sure the criminals shall not go free.

The show is directed by Robert P. Davis, and stars Charles Smith, William O'Donnell, Kimberly MacAlister, Kathy Luft, Bryan DeWalt, Miranda Baldys, Marte Engle, Anthony J. Geraci, Mary Geraci, Ken Joseph, and Duffy Batzer.
