Synopsis
John Ireland stars in this classic adventure as a shipwrecked ne’er-do-well who masterminds his way off of a deserted island with his cronies (Forrest Tucker and Richard Arlen) — and onto a trail pointed toward buried treasure — by stealing a slave trader’s ship. But the joke’s on him when the “scientists” (James Craig and Murray Matheson) to whom they agree to rent their boat prove to be treasure hunters out for themselves.
