Secret Sharer

A young sea captain is bribed by a Chinese ship owner to scuttle his first command. His inscrutable Chinese crew is suspicious from the outset and temporarily abandons ship leaving the captain completely alone on board. That night, while waiting anxiously on deck, he sees a naked body floating in the sea, tangled up in the ship's rope ladder. He pulls the ladder out and discovers the body is that of a beautiful young Chinese woman - thankfully still alive.
