After being fished out of the sea by a sailing ship, three fugitives find themselves prisoners of the ship's brutal skipper who refuses to put them ashore, and they hatch an escape plan during a crew mutiny.

Nominations


14th ceremony (1941) SPECIAL EFFECTS

The Sea Wolf

NOTE: Not originally one of the nominees announced on February 9, 1942. Dive Bomber, another Warner Bros. production, was on the list, but sometime between the 10th and 19th of February, the Dive Bomber nomination was replaced by The Sea Wolf, with the same people credited for the achievement. There is no explanation in the files as to why the replacement was made.
