A special Halloween cruise takes place on the "Ship of Ghouls". Julie's friend Karine Williamson used to be a glamorous model before being facially disfigured in a serious automobile accident. Julie tries to convince the now self-conscious Karine to live life again. Doctor Diller is a dentist currently ending a trial separation with his wife. But their son Bobby has suffered much from the time away from his father, and now deals with it by being a compulsive liar. Wendell Mordan is a renowned illusionist who performs under the name of the Amazing Alonzo. He is to be the main lounge entertainment for this cruise and his fans are thrilled about it, but he keeps neglecting his fiancee Ramona Bevans, to the point that Ramona winds up sharing the Captain's cabin.
