Solid thriller/mystery/noir with George Raft as a sea captain who finds an abandoned ship on a foggy night. The crew is missing, including his father, who was the captain. He tows it back to port in New Orleans, where he attempts to unravel the mystery. Clues aboard ship leads him to a young French girl, a stowaway on the ship. At first she is reluctant to talk, but when an attempt is made on her life she begins to trust Raft. Hoagy Carmichael is a helpful taxi driver who has a knack for being in the right places. Good New Orleans atmosphere, perfectly cast all around, a neglected gem.
