Последний черно-белый фильм режиссера снят в документальной манере. Есть простой, но четкий и захватывающий сюжет, моменты сильного саспенса, живая атмосфера и превосходная операторская работа. Снято все исключительно на натуре, в болотистых местах Луизианы. Картина рассказывает о мальчике-кэйджуне (кэйджунами называют местных жителей французского происхождения) и его родителях, живущих охотой и рыбалкой в болотах и реках, кишащих аллигаторами. Тут же рабочие нефтяной компании возятся со своим громоздким оборудованием для бурения скважин, и их прибытие производит огромное впечатление на семью. Во всем фильме, возможно, не более ста строк диалога - гораздо больше говорит камера, красноречивые звуковые эффекты и выразительное музыкальное сопровождение.
