Synopsis:
Detective John Jones books passage on a steamer ship during his vacation. The ship encounters a series of bizarre accidents, but John helps to protect the ship.

A gang of smugglers led by Captain Seely used a submarine to cause the near-disasters. Following Seely's capture, John returns from his vacation.
