The investigators find themselves aboard the private yacht of J. Kramer Worthington III, heir to a New York City publishing company, for a private Halloween party to Halifax, Nova Scotia for fun, frivolity, hot jazz, and of course, illegal whiskey. Having made the acquaintance of young Mr. Worthington (from school or perhaps being covered in a previous adventure), the investigators believe themselves in for a few days of glorious rest & relaxation. The luxurious yacht "Globetrotter" has an additional 20 other passengers besides the investigators, 6 musicians, and 19 crewmen. The yacht leaves New York City on October 29, and that night and following day are filled with continuous joyous Jazz Age partying with free-flowing liquor and festive foods.
