He was the casino ship's laundryman, that is, the accountant responsible for moving the illegal cash into legal bank accounts, and he approached master criminal Harry Slice with a cagey proposition:

THE OBJECTIVE: The SS Lono-i-ka-Makahiki, a retired ocean liner converted to a floating casino, anchored twelve miles off the Kona Coast of Hawaii.

THE PRIZE: About a million dollars in cash from the day's take, plus another $10 million in money waiting to be laundered.

THE CREW: Harry Slice's dozen disparate criminal recruits, including:

Oscar Kestrel: An academician with a taste for crime.
Emma-Mae Boulangier: A kindly, grandmotherly sort, and perhaps the most dangerous of the bunch
Arnie Winslow: A good thief once, but on the edge of burn-out. This may be his last job.
Deborah Skellins: With her husband jugged, she has to prove she's as good as any man.

THE PROBLEM: Are they meant to relieve the casino ship of over $10 million in a daring one-night heist, or are their actions meant to cover up a bigger crime, and they are fall guys? And if things falls apart, an island can be a very difficult place to escape from.
