The story of the 20th Century-Fox Film
SLAVE SHIP starring Warner Baxter and Wallace Beery
QUSPICIOUS et Captain Lovett, the mate, Thompson (Wallace Deery), goes ashoro slone to arrange the slave deal with the trader, Danela (Joseph Schildkrant). Not mis- pocting the muilnoers' plan to call away with- out paying for the cargo of slaves, Danelo promptly orders the loading of the negroes nboard the Albatross lo begin.
WHEN the loading
complete, Captain Lovett (Warner Barter), is brought ashore, and Danele looks to him for payment. But Lovett, point- Ing to the activity aboard the Albatross as the mutineers prepare to get under way, tell the slave. trader that his crow has revolted and are leaving without him. Danelo, blaming Lovett, reachos for his gun.
AFTER a desperato fight with Danolo,
Lovett escapes and forces a native boat crew to row him to the Albatross, whose nails are fast filling. While Thomp mor and the cabin boy, Swifty (Mickey Rooney), keep watch at the gangway, the caplain climbs over the far rail, slugs the helmsman, and seizes the gun locker.
JOINED by his wife (Elizabeth Allan), Lovelt gives bar a pistol, and the twe prepare to fight it out with the crew, who have no guns but sto amply supplied with marlin spikes and belaying pins, which they can hurl with deadly accuracy. Lovett and his, wife stand off the first charge of the mutineers, but realise that it is only a matter of time until they will be starved out or break from weariness.
