SuItry nightclub singer, Marty, headlines at the Sinagapore nightcIub owned by hard-drinking sea captain Shark Moran, who falls desperateIy in Iove with his star entertainer. Shark hires crusty sailor, Bruce Donaldson, to sail on his next voyage. When Shark Iearns that Bruce and Marty were formerly Iovers, he flies into an rage and assaults the girl. The police discover the nightclub owner's lifeIess corpse, and suspecting Marty, launch an all-out dragnet to bring her to justice.
A 1936 South Sea adventure, Night Cargo is a cheeky adventure that rocks between comic hi-jinx and tragic heartache. JacqueIine WeIls, who later signed with Warner Bros. in 1940, pIayed opposite filmdom's top maIe stars, including Errol FIynn in Northern Pursuit (1943), Humphrey Bogart in Action in the North AtIantic (1943), John Wayne in both Sands of lwo Jima (1949) and The High and the Mighty (1954), and Alan Ladd in The Big Land (1957), her last picture. Walter MiIler, who played the rambunctious Shark Moran, appeared in over 250 siIent and sound pictures before a heart attack took his life as he worked on the 1940 Gene Autry western, Gaucho Serenade. |
