Plots(1)
Dressler stars as savvy skipper Annie, steering through Pacific Northwest waters and through troubles with her hard-working, adoring son Alec (Robert Young) and her hapless, boozing husband Terry (Wallace Beery). There are plenty of laughs, but also lots of familial strife, until life-threatening danger at sea brings out the best in Terry...and puts everyone's priorities in order.
