Captain John McReady loses his ship in a storm when he is misled by a fake channel light. With no shipowner willing to give him another command, he accepts a job offered by George Lockhart, managing a salvaging warehouse. It turns out, however, that Lockhart is the man responsible for wrecking McReady's ship and others.
