The action takes place onboard the SS American on its voyage from New York to England sometime in early 30's. On board are the American heiress Hope Harcourt, her English fiancé, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh and Hope's mother Evangeline. Stowing away is Billy Crocker, an admirer of Hope's, who can't believe she would marry the rather silly Oakleigh, and determines to try and stop her. Also on board is the former evangelist, Reno Sweeney with her "Angels". Reno loves Billy, but she is soon intrigued by the quaintness of Oakleigh. Public Enemy Number 13, Moonface Martin with his moll, Erma are also on board. He passes to Billy the passport and ticket of a gangster friend who didn't catch the boat. This leads to unwelcome complications for Billy as he and Moonface have to keep changing disguises to avoid arrest. Moonface becomes mistaken for a minister and through the various disguises helps Billy to be near Hope. At last Billy is revealed as Public Enemy Number 1, a famous murderer! With a real live celebrity on board excitement reaches a crescendo as Reno conducts one of her famous prayer meetings. Billy, no longer able to hide his love for Hope, reveals his true identity and despite his honesty, with Moonface, he is thrown into the ship's brig. Meanwhile, Reno realises her affection for Oakleigh is deeper than she thought and learns that he has gypsy blood in him! Reno wants everyone to share in her happiness and devises a plan to get Billy and Moonface to get out of the brig. The Captain is preparing to marry Hope and Oakleigh when the ceremony is interrupted by some rather strange oriental characters. Eventually the ship board disasters are averted, and the romances sorted out with three weddings instead of one! As the whole company finally exclaims, "Anything Goes!" |
