While drunk, Pete signs a letter written by his best friend, Alan Chandler, detailing his past adulterous affairs.

The next morning, Pete finds two women, Zoe and Vera, inside his state room, who were supposed to leave prior to the liner's departure.

Pete approaches Hickey, a steward, and asks him to steal their clothes so both women remain hidden inside.

Grace eventually meets with Miss Potts and learns about Vera and Zoe, as well as Alan's proposed marriage to Laurie.

After Alan and Laurie are married, and leave for their honeymoon, Grace reveals she has read the letter as Pete shrieks in horror.

[1] New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall found the film to be a "conventional farce", but praised "the imaginative direction of Mark Sandrich, who is alert in seizing any opportunity for cinematic stunts" and whose work gave the production "a foreign aspect" with "some extraordinarily clever photography".
