This is not credited, but it is in his style.
When her aunt, the
ship’s senior nurse, breaks her ankle, Cathy volunteers for duty. There seems
to be more than the usual shipboard intrigue—the ship’s doctor drinks tea, secretly
laced with rum, to forget painful memories. His young assistant yearns to leave
the ship to start his own practice. A stowaway—on a last fling before settling
down to responsibility—is discovered. A raucous Texas dowager drinks too much
and her gigolo-husband has a roving eye. Cathy herself if faced with an
oversupply of admirers. An innocent flirtation and sudden tragedy make Cathy
realize the depth of her dedication to nursing—and where her heart is.
