Synopsis

When a ship’s navigator is found covered in pastry cream and the steering wheel vanishes, a crime-novel-obsessed priest turns a high-seas emergency into his personal detective debut. Eager to play the mastermind sleuth, Morton interrogates an eclectic crew of suspects, unmasking absurd motives while ignoring obvious clues until a slapstick chain of accidents reveals the bizarre truth.
