Synopsis

[The following plot summary is based on the English-language version of this film, Way for a Sailor ; character names refer to that version.] Jack, a sailor, along with his buddies Tripod and Ginger, feels himself an indomitable force until he falls for Joan, who repeatedly repels his advances every time he comes into port, and only after a number of years is he able to see her alone. Finally he wins her and they are married, but Joan, learning he plans to return to the sea, leaves him. Later, having become a quartermaster on an ocean liner, he finds her still unforgiving; then a storm wrecks the ship on which all are traveling, and to her grief he is lost with Tripod and Ginger, but the trio is rescued by a whaling vessel and returned to port. After receiving Jack's message, Joan, having realized her true feelings, is reunited with him.

Notes

This is the Spanish-language version of Way for a Sailor. The onscreen credits were taken from a studio cutting continuity. The working titles of this film were ¡Paso al marino! and La ruta del marino. The English-language version, which was released in late 1930, was directed by Sam Wood and starred John Gilbert and Wallace Beery. Some sources include Raquel Davido and Luis Nava in the cast of the Spanish version, but their participation in the released film has not been confirmed. According to modern sources, Marcel Silver was removed as the film's director for budgetary reasons, but presumably was replaced by another director, whose name has not been determined.
