  Convicts escape from a penal colony off the coast of South America. They board a sloop commandeered by another escapee Andre Verne (Clark Gable), and his girlfriend Julie (Joan Crawford) joins the group. Another in the group is a mystic, Cambreau (Ian Hunter), and, one-by-one, the escapees come under his spell as they die. Few survive the trip, but at the end, Verne believes that Cambreau is God, and he repents. Now, Verne returns to serve out the rest of his sentence, and Julie agrees to be there for him when he is released.
