IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT
Written by Robert previous hit Riskin
based on a story by Samuel Hopkins Adams
The HARBOR at Miami Beach fades in,
providing quick views of yachts, aquaplanes,
and luxurious ship-craft lying at anchor
in the calm, tranquil waters of tropical
Florida. This dissolves to the NAME
PLATE on the side of a yacht, reading
"ELSPETH II," and this in turn to a
YACHT CORRIDOR where a steward is standing
in front of a cabin door, near a small
collapsible table upon which there is
a tray of steaming food. He lifts lids
and examines the contents. A heavy-set
sailor stands guard near the cabin door.[1]
