Some Salty, But Code-Compliant Language

Walter Brennan has a rare title role. He returns from his latest voyage to discover that Georgia Caine has bought 51% of his shipping company, installed buttons instead of sailors everywhere, and is about to marry Brennan's daughter, Mary Brian, to her son, Frank Melton, instead of the manly Lyle Talbot. So Brennan insists they all go for a cruise and strands them on a desert island.

It's all a by-the-numbers effort, little more than a decent time-waster, from a series of stories by Peter Kyne. Kyne was a prolific writer in several genres, and more than a hundred movies were made from his works. He died in 1957 at the age of 77.
