A man and his wife are flying in a small plane when a thick fog arises and they are forced to put down at sea. Using a lifeboat for a couple of days they come across a rotted ship. Reading the ship's log they learn the mutinous crew died one by one after being cursed by the captain they forced to walk the plank. The man sees a ship heading towards them and are afraid they are going to be rammed, but the ship passes right through where they are standing! They get in their lifeboat and are rescued but the captain does not believe their strange tale of the ghost ship.
