What happens

Hell's Cargo is a 1939 British adventure film directed by Harold Huth and starring Walter Rilla, Kim Peacock and Robert Newton. It was written by Dudley Leslie from a story by Léo Joannon and was made at Elstree Studios. The film is a remake of the 1938 French hit Alert in the Mediterranean, and Peacock reprised his role as a Royal Navy Commodore from the earlier film. On its release in the United States it was retitled as Dangerous Cargo at the request of the Hays Office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
