While the patients sang Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here, State Education Inspector Albert A. Buchholz served the doctor with a summons to appear before the medical grievance committee of the State Department of Education. The charges: 1) operating a dispensary and clinic without a permit; 2) "falsely, fraudulently, deceitfully and unlawfully" allowing unlicensed persons to practice medicine in the clinic; 3) violating State law by advertising unethically in magazines...
...firing and one of the characters said: "Here they come!" Just at that minute a flight of dive-bombers opened up on an airfield and our AAs opened up on them.

It has its moments (some Grade-A brawling, excellent underwater photography, an occasional astonishing set), but they are inadequate substitutes for real characters and a good story. The story itself is the successful fight of shipowners to break up a gang of salvage pirates among the Florida keys. Paulette Goddard is there, speakin' Southern and doin' her best to get a little honest salvage away from Raymond Massey, head of the highjackers and a rat, old-style. Romancing the pretty salvage wrecker around are Sea Captain John Wayne, who seems quite depressed...
