Guthrie, is told by the ship's owners that he is to be relieved of his duties due to his ill health and that the next voyage will be made under a new captain by the name of Dovi^ney. Overcome by his illness Captain Hollings is taken ashore and admitted to a Sanatorium. Meanwhile Captain Downey, and a selected handful of ship's officers are entrusted, by Professor Grimstone, a scientist, with the secret that the ship is fully equipped to be radio controlled from the land. An attempt is made on the life of Professor Grimstone and during the follov/ing investigations it is learned that Captain Hollings escaped from the Sanatorium the previous night. One night later v;hilst at sea, a steward thinks he sees Captain Hollings lurking in the shadows and immediately reports to Captain Downey who, alarmed, orders a thorough search to be made; this is done without success. Convinced though that Captain Hollings is on board, he decides to send a message to Professor Grimstone via the tele screen, which has been installed as part of the radio controlling apparatus, but is murdered before completing it. The appointed hour arrives for the scientists to commence their experiment of controlling the ship from land; all goes well until the ship has a black-out test and during the darkness period a foreign agent substitutes the original radio tube, S.505, for another, thus bringing the ship under complete control of the foreign power. Captain Hollings makes a dramatic appearance and in a fight that follows with the enemy agent the substituted radio tube is smashed and the ship is once again sailing under her own power. A number of officers arrive on the scenes and the agent is arrested and charged with the murder of Captain Downey and Professor Grimstone, who has since died from injuries received when the attempt was made on his life. A first class mystery that will keep your audiences guessing to the end.
