Sidney Waltham, alias Mellaire the Mate
The story of a surly crew, an honest God-fearing captain, a hardboiled-but-loyal Scotch mate, a scoundrelly second-mate, and then a mutiny, the fight and the final voyage to a safe harbor. But not before the Captain has been murdered, his pretty daughter in peril, her rescue by the single passenger on board, and a member of the crew thrown overboard by another crew member.

The film begins in a BBC studio with the 100th edition of "In Town Tonight". Flotsam and Jetsom open with a "topical number". Then there is an interview with a distinguished actor, which dissolves into a performance of one of his famous melodramas about a wicked moneylender etc.
Beadle (as Ben Souten)
Primera versión sonora sobre el mito popular Sweeney Todd, barbero asesino que degollaba y robaba a sus victimas en complicidad con su vecina, la señora Lovett que los hacía desaparecer como pasteles de carne. Adapta la pieza teatral de George Dibdin-Pitt de 1847 a mayor gloria del divo Tod Slaughter, que representó al personaje por más de cuatro mil representaciones y resulta un buen ejemplo del terror puramente británico de los años 30 de siglo XX. En 1979 la historia sería reconvertida en un siniestro y memorable musical por Stephen Sondheim, basado a su vez en una obra precedente de Christopher Bond de 1973.
