What happens

Strange Cargo is a 1929 American mystery film directed by Arthur Gregor and starring Lee Patrick, June Nash, and George Barraud. It was the first full "All-Talking" sound film produced by Pathé Exchange, shortly afterwards to be merged into the major studio RKO Pictures. A separate silent version was also produced for theaters that had not yet been wired for sound. It was based on a play called The Missing Man, with the adaptation worked on by an uncredited Paul Bern. The film's sets were designed by the art director Edward C. Jewell. It received a good critical reception following its Los Angeles premiere. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
