Reap the Wild Wind movie

In 1840, theres work on the Florida Keys for honest salvagers (like the Claibornes) and outright pirates like King Cutler, who bribes sailors to cause wrecks. When Capt. Stuarts ship is wrecked, Loxi Claiborne rescues him, falls for him, and travels to Charleston to convince the owners the wreck wasnt his fault; company lawyer Steve Tolliver returns with them to Key West to investigate. Tolliver and Stuarts rivalry for Loxis hand complicates their swashbuckling adventures in pursuit of Cutler, ending in a trial and a dangerous dive for evidence.
