    T-men on the high seas. ;)

    When the Treasury Department suspects a luggage company-which has recently run a contest offering a European cruise-of smuggling diamonds, they plant a woman as a secretary in their office, and a t-man on the cruise ship. There will be intrigue and danger both on the high seas and on the land...

    I watched this one simply because Preston Foster is the lead, and as usual, he made it fun. Fiesty Irene Hervey was good as his co-worker/on again, off again love interest too, as was Fred Keating as one of the main crooks. Throw in Frank Jenks in a cute role, and good ol' Regis Toomey as the t-man (of course) planted on the cruise and you've got yourself a solid cast.

    I wouldn't say this was one of Foster's best, but I still liked the story, there's some witty dialogue, and a couple of surprises, too. Worth a look!
