He is not credited, but this is very much in his style.
After five months as a
cruise nurse on the luxury liner Santa Theresa, Kathy was glad that the trip
was almost over and that she soon would be back to the demanding atmosphere of
a big city hospital. Suddenly, during a starless tropical night, a desperate
band of men seized the liner by force and terrorized the passengers and crew.
All at once Kathy not only had more nursing to do than any one nurse could
handle, but she had become the special object of attention of the leader of the
pirates!
