In 1872, a merchant vessel sets sail for Genoa, carrying a cargo of liquor, a crew of 13, a woman, a black cat and Bela Lugosi. This is not going to end well, is what I'm thinking, and when the ship turns up adrift in the Atlantic later on, there's not a trace of anybody on board. A speculation based on an actual incident, one of the unsolved mysteries of the sea. The movie's not much, but Lugosi's good.
