Perilous Waters

U.S. Navy veteran Willie Hunter returns home to find that he is jobless. He soon finds temporary employment, however, when Slade, known as "The Boss," hires him to kill reform-minded newspaper publisher Dana Ferris for $10,000. To get close to Dana, Willie takes a job as an electrician on the Mexico-bound yacht on which Dana will be sailing. Before leaving port, Willie meets Dana's wife, Jenny Ferris, and his glib daughter Pat, who are brought on board by Carter Larkin. (official distributor synopsis)
