Seaway was a crime/adventure TV series chronicling the activities of ship owner's association troubleshooter Nick King (Stephen Young), who deals with varied issues involving vessels using the St Lawrence Seaway. Often these turn out to be connected with illegal activities.
Villainess Millicent Bork, along with her husband, are key members of an international narcotics ring. Millicent seems to be in charge. Nick King teams up with French Interpol Agent called Claude (Diana Van der Vlis) to investigate how a deadly criminal operation is smuggling huge amounts of heroin into North America aboard ships.
Targeted by 2 hit men from the heroin gang, King and Claude manage to elude and defeat the 2 goons. The investigation of the narcotics operation leads to a French ship, which Nick finds has been fitted with a special section underneath, only visible to a diver, which has been used to transport the drugs, keeping the shipments away from the prying eyes of police and port officals. But one of the ring's men dismantles and takes the section with its $5 million shipment of heroin before police divers arrive to follow up on Nick's discovery.
King and his colleagues zero in on 3 individuals as possible suspects. Their suspicions are aroused when they discover that the woman, Millicent Bork, has "connections," being the daughter of a New York Mafia chief. The team pursue and intercept the villain's yacht. Millicent doesn't resist the attempts to stop them and search their vessel, feeling the illicit cargo will not be found. But eventually King and Claude locate the huge heroin shipment hidden inside manniken heads on which Millicent keeps her various wigs. Millicent Bork and her co conspirators are taken into custody (not shown).
