Passengers on a ship traveling from Mexico to Europe in the 1930s represent society at large in that era. The crew is German, including the ship's doctor who falls in love with one of the passengers, La Contessa. A young American woman, Jenny, is traveling with the man she loves, David. Jenny is fascinated and puzzled by just who some of the other passengers are. The once famous Mary Treadwell gets much of her attention.

"A series of different stories on a boat in Germany, pre-war time. In a movie that relies entirely on character they got most of it right. Looking at it in a 2020 lens it's a soap opera, but back in the 60's I think it would have been a fresh idea and relevant. What makes a really good movie is one that can defy time, which this doesn't, so a 7 I shall give it. "
