The Sin Ship

A two-masted schooner run by captain Wolheim is the scene of some unhappy action for Astor. She is being chased by the captain as well as by Keith. Wolheim discovers the so-called minister and his wife (Keith and Astor) are really a pair of thieves, and they are arrested by undercover detective Powell in the end. Not much of a thriller, the film implausibly allows Astor to go free at the finale, never bothering to explain why. This was also Wolheim's first attempt at directing and, unfortunately, he died a few months before the film's release. Herbert, who plays the ship's first mate, wrote the screenplay.
