The dramatic film revolves around a set of interesting situations. The events begin when Julia Storges, a rich social figure, is locked in the Titanic with her two young children in order to divorce her husband, Richard, when she arrives in the United States. At the last minute, Richard discovered her plan and managed to board the ship in an attempt to persuade her to stay with him. But they did not work because their lives would be over and the ship would collide.
