A failed businessman signs on as first mate on a whaling ship to help the recently deceased co-owner's daughter find out who killed her father. An enjoyable enough action movie that's spoiled by its habit of pausing the plot for scenes of whalers triumphantly harpooning their prey before hacking them to pieces. Alan Ladd wears his shirt collar up to show just how cool and laid back he is while Stanley Baker glowers and broods as a closet Nazi who was once engaged to Ladd's love interest Joan Tetzel. Pinewood Studios unconvincingly stands in for the Antarctic.
