Synopsis
The Tedmar, a boat owned by businessman Edward Blaney, was wrecked at sea after apparently running into mechanical difficulties and bad weather. Blaney and his mistress Edwina Sheridan had to be rescued by another boat. However the insurance company representative Draxland refused to pay out, arguing that Blaney fabricated the claim and deliberately wrecked the craft. Blaney is now suing the company for the cost of his boat.
