Synopsis
A Coast Guard veteran returns to the Louisiana bayous haunted by the wartime loss of a ship under his command.

Personal recovery becomes entangled with the community's struggle over its livelihood.

Behind the scenes
Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe, both former screen Tarzans and accomplished swimmers, meet here in different roles. Weissmuller's proposed series of films for Pine-Thomas did not continue beyond this production, leaving the pairing as a distinctive departure from their familiar jungle adventures.
