What it’s about. A shipful of fugitives from justice pulls up on a Pacific Island where there are no extradition laws. The island is a magnet for the scum of the earth, as well as a few honest guys who were framed. Into this den of iniquity swims socialite Dorothy Sebastian, who jumped off a yacht after apparently murdering her lecherous host. To remain on the Island, Sebastian is told that she must pay $5,000 to head honcho Fred Kohler -- and if she hasn't got the money, it is implied, there are other methods of collection.

Who’s in it. Ship of Wanted Men stars Dorothy Sebastian as Irene Reynolds, Fred Kohler as Chuck Young, Leon Ames as John Holden and Gertrude Astor as Vera, among others.
