Synopsis

Joe Adams dirige un casino flottant dans les mers du Sud. Lorsque la guerre éclate, il endosse une fausse identité pour échapper au service militaire et se résout à travailler pour une oeuvre de charité chargée d'envoyer des secours en Europe. Son imagination fertile lui fournit un projet d'envergure : détourner les fonds de l'institution afin de financer un nouveau casino flottant. Sur ces entrefaites, Joe fait la connaissance de Dorothy Bryant, dont il tombe amoureux. Par ailleurs, il apprend que le défunt dont il a usurpé l'identité était un repris de justice en liberté conditionnelle et que le moindre écart de conduite peut l'amener tout droit à la chaise électrique...
