How to judge Sandy, a reform school kid who can't stay out of trouble. Career crook Victor McLaglen takes him under his wing and promises to 'take care of him' upon his release and show him the ropes (river pirates rob warehouses along the riverfront). But he has an angel in Lois Moran, playing a social worker who tries to straighten him out.
Victor McLaglen is the star, looking very trim here before adding weight as we remember him in later films. He is a sympathetic character with his customary winning smile and carries the picture. Sandy is played by Nick Stuart who is all but forgotten to film fans but has an appealing, boyishness about him.
Interesting story but not a swashbuckler as the title implies. It was shown at Capitolfest, Rome, NY, 8/14/21.
****** 6/10 - Website no longer prints my star rating.
