Synopsis

Sources vary--if not disagree--in describing the action in this film. According to FD (20 Nov 1927, p. 7), "hero shanghaied aboard a disreputable tramp steamer; girl lured aboard nifty yacht and to top it off there's a dirty and wicked sea captain to make life miserable for the pair." Var (14 Dec 1927, p. 26), on the other hand, describes only "a negro tribal chief on the coast of Africa making a deal with a dissolute white sea captain to buy a white girl. Supposed to be 'squared' by a negro cabin boy sacrificing his life, saving the girl from the black nabob" and "an abundance of fist fighting and hairy-chested sea-going deviltry."
