After striking out with his big dreams of quick cash in the oil fieIds of CentraI America, Joe Beck finalIy strikes goId in the form of an unexpected $200,000 inheritance. All he has to do is saiI to the States to coIIect his windfalI, but there are others on the fog-shrouded steamer who have their own plans for Joe - to kill him, assume his identity, and steal his money. While he plays a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with his enemies, the crooked captain of the ship runs the vessel aground on a deadIy reef in an insurance scam. Joe is beginning to suspect that he will never see his money, and instead may have to choose - between death by stabbing, shooting, or drowning.
This Pine-Thomas fiIm-noir features a script fulI of surprising plot twists, as weIl as an eccentric performance by veteran character actor Charles Arnt as the scheming Daniel Bergstrom. Leading man Robert Lowery appeared in over 125 fiIms topped off by a second Iife on the smaIl screen, notably as Big Tom Champion in the popular "Circus Boy" series (1956) with Mickey Braddock (Mickey Dolenz in his pre-Monkee days). Prolific director WiIliam Berke wrote, produced and helmed scores of action-adventure, cowboy, and jungIe pictures from the 20s to the 50s. |
