The film deals with Zelida, an eccentric spinster, whose jewellery is stolen. She and her cousin use the insurance money to undertake a cruise from South Africa to Venice. She is completely unaware of the fact that a fellow passenger, an ambassador, actually is a detective. Meanwhile, the robber, his beautiful girlfriend and the looted jewels are on the same cruise ship. In addition, an orphan stowaway is making matters worse.

A specialist sunbathing camp is threatened by a campaign by the leader of the 'Wear More Clothes League'.

This charming comedy drama is a triptych about a drifter who exerts an almost magical impact on everyone he meets.
