Daisy and Alec are heading out on their honeymoon. They're heading to America where Alec *definitely* isn't going to have to do any work. Except that he's going to be consulting with the newly formed FBI. But they have to cross the Atlantic Ocean first. And they're going to be traveling with Daisy's childhood friend, Philip Petrie, his wife Gloria, her father Caleb Arbuckle and his friend Jethro Gotobed. Startlingly, the lifelong bachelor Gotobed has suddendly married. To a showgirl no less. And, since Gotobed is a millionaire, it's sort of presumed that the woman is a gold digger. The seven of them are sat at a dinner table with a herbalist, though they all call her a witch. The trip is unfortunately, not eventful. First, many of the passengers are beset by seasickness. Then, a man falls overboard. But did he fall or was he pushed? And what do the subsequent deaths mean?
