A small time racketeer forces two old fishermen into paying him protection money on their crummy rowboat, then starts to date one's daughter (Lupino). He demands more and more until the realize they can't keep giving in so make a plan to kill him. Whoops he drowns accidentally so maybe all is saved?
This is a very typical "morality" type of story from the New York stage. Anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, and full of dialogue decrying the state of the "simple folk." It's all a little preachy honestly and the ending completely ruins the concept of fighting back against fascism with a cop out answer (imposed by the production code).
Overall, okay, but nothing amazing.
