American in hopes of winning the heart of his beloved Hope Harcourt (Malia Davis). His boss, Yale graduate Elisha J. Whitney (Mark Pierce), is also on board. He plans to relax before making an important business deal in England. Hope is on her way to England to be married to Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (Darius Pierce), a stuffy, hapless British nobleman. Also on the boat are "Moonface" Martin (Shawn Rogers), a second-rate gangster on the lam labeled "Public Enemy #13," and his friend Bonnie (Megan Misslin). He disguises himself as a minister and she poses as a regular passenger after mistakenly leaving behind their leader, "Snake Eyes" Johnson, Public Enemy #1. On board, Crocker runs into his friend, Reno Sweeney (Amy Jo Halliday), an evangelizing nightclub singer, who resolves to help Billy win over Hope, to the dismay of Hope's mother, Mrs. Harcourt (Lisa Knox).
