Keywords: Action/Adventure

A British freighter secretly conveys £250,000 in hidden gold bullion bound for Singapore as Maylay pirates threaten the vessel, with a veritable Grand Hotel (1932) of passengers cavorting topside. Rollicking, romantic adventure with perhaps too much plot and subplot but nevertheless highly enjoyable.
