Convicts on an island prison revolt against the cruel administration headed by Hallard. Veidt is the convicts' leader and brings the revolt to a successful conclusion. Hallard is killed and Veidt falls in love with Vinson. Hallard secretly managed to get a message out before he died,
however, and a warship begins shelling the island, but Vinson pleads for the men and they are given a fair trial. So-so drama is hampered by some confusing miscasting. The characters' names are, for the most part, Spanish, yet Veidt has a German accent and Beery is all-American. Vinson is inept in
her role as the love interest, but Veidt, miscast as he is, does a fair job with the mate...
