A Deep Sea Conspiracy on the Patricia
Aboard the Patricia en route from Montevideo to Barcelona three cabin passengers draw intrigue. Lawler, an American cattleman wooing Donna Juanita Valles while the austere Senora Espinosa plots, hopes to delay the ship to reunite lovers Leon and Juanita. A sickness scare with yellow fever and a jaundiced Majole delays the voyage, ending with Lawler winning a “most charming wife” through a ruse involving a gold coin and deception aboard the ship.
