The S. S. Claridon is scheduled for her five last voyages after thirty-eight years of service. After an explosion in the boiler room, Captain Robert Adams is reluctant to evacuate the steamship. While the crew fights to hold a bulkhead between the flooded boiler room and the engine room and avoid the sinking of the vessel, the passenger Cliff Henderson struggles against time trying to save his beloved wife Laurie Henderson, who is trapped under a steel beam in her cabin, with the support of the crew member Hank Lawson.

Plot

Cliff Henderson and his family are traveling aboard the SS Claridon en route to Japan. She is an old ship on her fifth and last voyage before heading to the scrap yard. An explosion in the engine room weakens the hull and the ship is now taking on more water than the bilge pumps can deal with. The captain seems to have difficulty accepting that his ship will sink. Cliff's wife, Laurie, is severely injured and trapped under a fallen steel beam in their cabin. While the men in the engine room work frantically to shore up the hull, Cliff tries to free Laurie from the wreckage with the help of one of crew member Hank Lawson.
