A well-intentioned doctor assembles a group of convicts ranging from small-time criminals to psychopathic killers and takes them out into the ocean to privately conduct experiments he believes will prove his theory that criminal behavior is caused by a gland disorder. The doctor then performs horrific operations and often lethal experiments on the offenders who, trapped like lab rats at sea, are kept in line by the doctor's henchmen. Believing in the doctor's goodness, the ship's captain (Lyle Talbot) allows it all to happen - until he witnesses the doctor's dreadful work first hand and rallies the victims to rebel.
