A man is going to cross the Atlantic, but his wife and child convince him to stay--as they are worried about his safety. Later, the worried wife goes to see a psychic--who tells her she is about to lose a loved one! The husband later learns that the ship is "practically unsinkable" and decides to take the trip after all--and it turns out that it's the Titanic!! The wife's worst suspicions turned out to be correct--the ship is lost! But, in a twist, you find that the man is quite safe. Now the worrying mother wonders if the one who will die will be her son.
Now the following portion of the film turns out to be missing (if I'd known, I might not have bothered watching it). Because of this, there is a screen with "Scenes Missing" and a paragraph explaining what happened in this section. I guess you can't blame the Kino folks that much for this--as most older films from this period have decomposed or caught fire due to the volatility of the nitrate film stock.
As far as what occurs next, the father sets out to reveal this palm reader to be a fake. I really wish it had all been included with the film, as it sounded like a great scene....that we'll probably never get to see! Overall, because of the missing ending, it's probably not worth seeing. However, people curious about the Titanic may find it worth seeing--though it seemed a bit tacky and exploitative to include this in the film!.
