Thane of the tramp freighter Natuna Star has a grudge against insurance companies. He and his crew steal a hundred thousand dollar cargo of tin ingots en route from Singapore to Hong Kong, then claim the ingots were jettisoned to save the ship in a storm. Robin Scott comes to Hong Kong to prove the suspected barratry, enlisting skin diver Danny Wayne's help. Next, he worms his way into the confidence of Thane, first mate Vernon and Sparky Tanjong, and a half-caste Malay radio operator. Then Robin stages a fake kidnapping of Phyllis Collier who is also in Hong Kong. He bribes passage on the Natuna Star hoping this will lead him to the island where the tin is hidden. Thane and his crew double-cross Robin to get the supposed ransom for themselves. After a deadly fight on the island, Robin bests the heavies and recovers the ingots, only to learn that his fee will be in Hong Kong dollars, worth less than 25 cents. See less
