In a South Seas bar and brothel called the Isle of Forgotten Sins, rough-and-tumble sailors Mike Clancy (John Carradine) and Jack Burke (Frank Fenton) meet old Capt. Krogan (Sidney Toler), who talks them into recovering $3 million in gold from a sunken ship. Mike and Clancy become rivals for the bar's lovely owner, Marge (Gale Sondergaard), as well as for the riches, not knowing Krogan plans to betray them both. But everyone's schemes are threatened by the onslaught of a devastating monsoon.

The studio gave Edgar G. Ulmer an evocative title and a six-day schedule, which is more than enough for this bit of overpowering ingenuity

Combustible Celluloid

Not one of Edgar G. Ulmer's most essential films, and it's more than a little clunky, but it features some inspired miniature work and an energetic lead performance by John Carradine.

There were great underwater sea diving shots and the catastrophic storm was convincing, proving what an excellent craftsman Ulmer could be.

Rated: C+

The Gangs of New Orleans. There's a wonderful nihilist or humanist screen play waiting to be written, depending on your bearings. The nihilist ends the film with Katrina; the humanist shows them working together to survive. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1194016,00.html
