A qualified First Mate Abel Hewson arrives in a Spanish seaside town looking for work on local ships salvaging still afloat abandoned ships. Abel Hewson and Captain Bellew become love rivals for 18 years old Josita. Both men go on a dangerous mission to salvage a floating wreck carrying explosives which will detonate on contact with any water, on which this rivalry comes between them and their work. The tug-boat crew also resent Abel Hewson being made their First Mate, especially Gorman. They are also competing against another tug-boat operator Captain Mulder for the salvage prize.
