One of the better sequels of "Das Traumschiff".
Samoa, December 31, 1999. One of the ship's passengers is wanted by the police for fraud, and another one is a police inspector trying to find and arrest him. Only trouble: the crime will be beyond the statute of limitations unless the criminal is arrested before January 1, 2000, local time.
At midnight, the criminal opens a bottle of champagne with his girl friend. But he has missed one little thing: there is a way to arrest the criminal even several hours later. (Hint: anybody who has crossed the Pacific in West-East direction should be able to figure out how.)
