(17,984 posts)There is a steward onboard a cruise ship. He has a small circle of buddies who commit small crimes, robbing the odd rich passenger and splitting the booty. The captain is about to retire and, for some reason, the owners of the cruise company replace him with the steward. What the hell does the steward know about navigation or safety? Not one damned thing. But it doesn't matter because now he "owns" the cruise ship and can fleece the passengers to his heart's content. But you see, the passengers start to catch on pretty quickly because of the steward's rise in prominence and the fact that he is stealing everyone's money and not just a very select few. The passengers start to complain, but what can they do against a "captain"? Plus, the new "captain" has put all his old thief cronies in charge of all the higher positions aboard the ship. There is a mutiny (note this is quite close to Rump's use of "treason" ), and some passengers vow to expose the new "captain". The passengers catch some of those cronies and threaten to throw them in the brig. The jig is up. The steward realizes he should have remained a steward, but it is just too late.
