Base American fugitive Joe Morgan, now a ship's captain is running a reloading base for Nazi submarines. While out on the sea he picks up a man floating in the water. It's a cop who Morgan thought framed him for murder. The cop is now merchant seaman. Morgan takes the cop to St Jean, a small island where pirates once hung out and quick buck can be made. At this point the film becomes the story of what happens on land as Morgan tries to deal with the cop, the girls who want to go back to America and the people on the island. Good but should have been great film is sunk by the actor playing Morgan. How this guy ended up as the lead in anything is beyond me since he's so stiff and wooden that one wonders what cigar store is missing their Indian. Still the film is worth seeing with the sequences involving the Nazi subs and subterfuge around them is good enough to over come any flaws.
