Insurance investigator Johnny Dollar looks into the sinking of two tuna boats, the Frank Walton and the Nancy Walton, which were insured by his company for $400,000. The owner, Roscoe Walton, and the fleet captain, George Carpo, are both unhelpful, and the Coast Guard reports that the bodies recovered show signs of violent explosions. Dollar suspects scuttling, a form of insurance fraud, and begins pressing Carpo for answers.
