An alcoholic young man demands inheritance money from the uncle who's executor of his father's estate. The uncle refuses, but makes his nephew an offer: he'll give him $15,000 if he'll travel to the South Seas and murder a man named Jake Finch. The trip to the islands involves a three-week cruise on a schooner where the sad drunk has time to reevaluate his life.
