==Plot==
After serving all his working life with the South Star line, exclusively in cargo ships, Captain Albert Ebbs meets his employer ([[John le Mesurier]]) and is finally given command (albeit temporarily) of the SS ''Queen Adelaide'', a [[cruise liner]] sailing from London to Sydney. An excellent seaman, he finds that he now has many social obligations that he does not have the skills to fulfil. He must preside at the captain's table, host cocktail parties, judge beauty contests and dance with the lady passengers. He must also cope with amorous widows, young couples who want him to marry them and a blustering ex-army major who claims to have the ear of the chairman of the shipping line.

To add to his woes, most of the officers and crew, led by the chief purser, are [[fraud|on the fiddle]]. The captain doesn't fully realise this until the last night of the cruise, when [[champagne (wine)|champagne]] being served is revealed to be [[cider]], with the crew pocketing the considerable profits.

All comes out well - just. The captain finds himself engaged to be married to an attractive widow, the chief officer is also engaged to a young heiress, and the larcenous officers are arrested by Sydney police.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Captain's Table (1959)|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/28677|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090114065604/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/28677|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 January 2009|website=BFI|accessdate=3 June 2017}}</ref>
