I wouldn't be surprised if MGM allowed poverty row Masacot Pictures to shoot
a lot of this film at the waterfront sets they used for Anna Christie. Waterfront
Lady had a bit of the same look.
Young Frank Albertson a gambler has been taken into partnership by the owner of a big gambling boat Charles C. Wilson. Soon after in a fight Wilson kills a a complaining customer. When Alberrtson tries to get rid of the gun the cops tag him as the shooter..
Albertson takes refuge at the docks on a houseboat owned by J.Farrell MaDonald and his daughter Ann Rutherford. It's pretty plain and getting more obvious Albertson ain't no sailor. But Rutherford starts to fall for him anyway, much to the chagrin of Grant Withers who has staked out a claim.
This was a nice B film from one of the Poverty Row studios and apparently it wasn't butchered after being sold to television. Lack of production values is apparent. But it's a decent story with attractive players.
