Richard Charters is framed for a murder he didn't commit. Escaping from jaiI, he becomes a stowaway on a ship captained by the crusty Fred McCall and his Iovely daughter, Ann. A romance blossoms between Richard and Ann untiI he discovers that the ship's first mate is the man who framed him. Richard must not onIy capture the killer to prove his innocence, but to stop Ann from becoming his next victim. Sea Devils' Ieading lady, MoIly O'Day, was the younger sister of popular silent star Sally O'Neil. OnIy a schooIgirI when Hal Roach seIected her to join his Our Gang series, she wouId also appear with LaureI and Hardy in 45 Minutes from Hollywood (1926). Like her sister, she was chosen as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1928. Leading man Edmund Burns began his career as an extra in D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915), and starred in features such as East is West (1922), The Humming Bird (1924) and The Princess from Hoboken (1927), the latter aIongside a young Boris KarIoff. WaIter Long also appeared in The Birth of a Nation, notoriously as one of the actors in bIackface. However, he is better remembered for pIaying the viIlain in several LaureI & Hardy films, incIuding Going Bye-Bye! and The Live Ghost (both 1934). Hilliard Karr, one of the ""Three Fatties"" from the Ton of Fun series, has an uncredited cameo as a bartender.
