Stormy waves in the South China Sea wash a drunken captain, Charles Chinnough, off his
ship just before it crashes on a reef. He's then rescued by a passing vessel. Two months
later the former captain, now in disgrace, sails as a passenger on a ship commanded by
Brendensen, the man who had been the first-mate on his last voyage. Tension quickly
develops between these two, especially since both are now attracted to the same female
passenger, Kim Mitchell. A typhoon forces Chinnough and Brendensen to work together to
save the ship while, at the same time, new information comes to light about their previous
voyage together.
