What happens

Sea Fury is a 1929 adventure film directed by George Melford and starring Mildred Harris, George Regas and Frank Campeau. It was a transitional sound film, originally shot as a silent, the film had dialogue dubbed in before release in order to make it an "All-Talking" picture. The results were so abysmal that the film had a very limited release. The entire film takes place at sea on a ship travelling from Mexico to the United States whose crew mutinies against the captain. On board is a young woman, the only survivor of a shipwreck. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
