Sin Cargo

1926 · 70 min

A quiet silent-era melodrama of sacrifice and secrets at sea, watched more for its earnest mood than its thrills.

Overview
Mark Russell, captain of a ship sailing from the South Seas to San Francisco, is an innocent victim of a pearl-smuggling scheme by Harry Gibson, and when the pearls are discovered by customs inspectors, Russell takes the blame because of his love for Gibson's sister Eve and to shield her of being disgraced.
