Experiencing Interruptions?

Dirty Fred strikes back

The frivolous playboy, Theo Lincoln’s plans for fame and fortune are turned upside down when he unwittingly sets sail with some of the most loathed and feared gangsters of the underworld to help him track down an explorer rumored to be lost on an island inhabited by cannibals. Only with the help of an iron-fisted sailor, Jimmy Grin, does he manage to escape Captain “Dirty” Fred’s devious plans, and find true love with a beautiful Polynesian girl, Manuela. This action-adventure comedy takes us from the bustling ports of San Francisco to the tropical islands of the Pacific, on a journey of self-discovery, courage, double crossings, bare-knuckled fist fights, and a relentless sea gull with a gastronomic opinion.
