Summary:

Also known as East of Shanghai, this is a seafaring comedy from legendary director Alfred Hitchcock's early years in the British film industry. Fred Hill and his wife Emily lead a boring existence in the London suburbs. When the Hills come into an inheritance from a wealthy uncle, Fred quits his mundane job and they embark on a world cruise to get a taste of the high life. But all does not go as planned as the couple's voyage becomes fraught with treacherous romantic duplicities.
