1949 Directed by Seymour Friedman
Insurance agent Jesse Arno is posing as a sailor while on the trail of a gang of waterfront thieves, supposedly headed by Tip Banning. Arno is aware that a gang member has been murdered by Rhino, Banning's simple-minded right-hand man, but says nothing when he is questioned by the police, who are unaware of his real profession. Banning, knowing that Jesse knew who the killer was, admits him into the gang.

Pretty much everything had to be staged to cater to Warner Baxter failing heath with him either laying down or sitting. Made for a plodding adventure at the docks. Fairly gritty, which was a plus, but because of it's stagnant and slow pace they needed to film this, there was no steam present to make it exciting.
