Director: Anthony Mann Cast: James Stewart, Joanne Dru, Gilbert Roland, Dan Duryea, Jay C. Flippen, Harry Morgan, Marcia Henderson, Antonio Moreno, Fortunio Bonanova, Mario Siletti, Robert Monet, Ben Welden, Ted Mapes, Dale Van Sickel, Frank Chase
Ex-GIs Steve Martin and Johnny Gambi (James Stewart and Dan Duryea) become oil drillers off the gulf-coast of Louisiana and run into complications. The shrimp fishermen in the area fear that the drilling noise is scaring away the shrimp–and, thus, is a threat to their livelihoods. Matters heat up when Steve falls in love with Stella (Joanne Dru) who happens to be a fisherman's (Antonio Moreno) daughter, and Johnny falls for his other daughter Francesca (Marcia Henderson). Despite a hurricane brewing, Steve and Johnny strike it rich and are, finally, able to work out their problems with the fishermen.
