After the wedding, just after he and his bride Mary leave the church, he is separated from her and gets a telegram which compels him to sail for Paris within the hour to complete a business deal. Although he tries, he is unsuccessful and leaves France without completing the deal. However, Oswald has been reported dead to Mary and she collects on the life insurance. Therefore, Oswald is forced to assume a disguise during his trip back home. Matters are complicated by a detective on board the ship and seas that cause many to become seasick.
