  Captain Ralls (John Wayne) is a ship's captain out to seek justice and the love of Angelique (Gail Russell). Dutch shipping magnate Sidneye (Luther Adler) had stolen Angelique away from Ralls and married her seven years ago, and their feud still continues. Now, Ralls finds his means of getting even. While Ralls is serving as captain of Sidneye's ship, the Red Witch, he drives the ship into a reef and sinks it with plans to return and retrieve $5,000,000 in the cargo of gold that is on the ship.
