This classic tells a strange story. An odd assortment of characters are passengers on an ocean liner whose destination is unknown. Suddenly the bewildered travelers realize they are dead and headed for Judgment Day. The young man who has lost his faith in himself becomes desperately afraid, the snobbish Mrs. Cliveden Banks prepares to demand certain heavenly concessions, and the old cockney woman goes on with her knitting. Most frightened of all are a young man and woman who have committed suicide. The Examiner comes on board to judge their cases with whimsical perception. The Examiner rewards virtue, punishes vice and relieves the confusion and fears of the travelers. Happiest of the lot is the little cockney woman who is allowed to care for the frightened young man who is really her son.
