Adapted from a Daphne Du Maurier story, the film takes place at a small inn on the coast of Cornwall. The inn is the base of operations of a band of criminals who deliberately shipwreck vessels for their cargo. The arrival of one of the gang member's niece and a Lloyd's of London investigator disrupt the gang's plans. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, this feature stars Charles Laughton, Robert Newton and Maureen O'Hara.
