Notes:John Carter, first officer of the cargo ship Campari, is on board when a gang of pirates take over. Their plan is to stop the Ticonderoga and steal a $1.5 million gold shipment. They then plan to transfer all the Campari passengers — and a small nuclear device aboard the Ticonderoga to destroy the evidence. Carter manages to take the bomb out of its case and hide it on the Campari and trick the bad guys into stealing generators instead of gold. He also manages to win the hand of Susan, the beautiful daughter of a billionaire who was aboard the Campari.

Reviews for The Golden Rendezvous

Review - Golden Rendezvous, The

Pretty exciting. Unbelievable, but pretty exciting, with just the right amount of action and suspense and romance. The dialog is a bit over-the-top at times, but overall I enjoyed it.
