Annexing the arsenal, Lovett and Nancy, helped by the cabin boy (Mickey Rooney), held the wheel against the ruffian mutineers. At St. Helena, Mate Thompson, with the gallows in his mind, planned to destroy evidence by linking the slaves' fetters to the anchor chain and dropping anchor. In a free-for-all, Skipper Lovett freed most of the blackbirds, shot Thompson in the belly. Put on trial for slaving, Lovett admitted his guilt. Nancy's testimony, in the picture's best dramatic scene...
