Alison Kirbe of London receives a telegram from Texas, that she has inherited a livestock ranch. It is plastered throughout the London newspapers that Alison has become a rich heiress, and is sailing to the United Slates alone to claim her inheritance. Or so she thinks. Three men - Terence Keath, Jeremy Tayler and Jeremy's lawyer Matthew Kinston, take an interest in Alison after reading about her in the papers. They all board the ship hoping to become involved with her, but all for different reasons. Terence is a gambler and wants to marry a rich woman to pay his debts. Jeremy, a multi-millionaire, wants a wife, and Matthew wants to protect Jeremy's fortune, for he believes Alison is actually running a scam. All aboard.
