- Synopsis
- Marlene Dietrich stars as a daring adventuress whose plane crash lands in the Atlantic Ocean.
Vela(Fritz Alberti), cynical captain of a slow, decrepit sailing ship, sells passage out of Germany to fugitives. His crew are no angels either. Cheyne(Robin Irvine), a young American doctor visiting the ship, is shanghaied on a 3-month voyage to Brazil when Vela abruptly embarks. In mid-ocean, Cheyne rescues the survivor of a watery plane crash, lovely American heiress Ethel Marley(Marlene Dietrich); he and the ship's cook keep her hidden from captain and crew. But a brutal incident leads to mutiny and murder, putting the two Americans in great danger...building to a cliffhanger climax. This unusual, action-packed melodrama was Maurice Tourneur's last silent film, and released just prior to The Blue Angel, Dietrich's star-making picture.- Movie Soulmates' ratings
