Set aboard the S. S. American, the story follows the madcap antics of Billy Crocker, played by Joseph Stagg, as he stows away on the ship to woo the mysterious woman he fell in love with on a taxi ride—the lovely heiress Hope Harcourt (Megan Hahn), traveling to England with her fiancee Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (Spencer Kopp) and chaperoned by her mother (Katharine McCormick).
Add to the mix nightclub singer Reno Sweeney (Hannah Flam) and Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin (Danny Adams), masquerading as a minister and missionary, and Anything Goes!
