Key West in 1940 plays host to a thriving salvage business based on the many wrecks of ships found in the vicinity. Always first on the scene is King Cutler (Raymond Massey), arousing the suspicions of ship owner Loxi Claiborne (Paulette Goddard). Loxi's suitor, Captain Jack Stuart (John Wayne), is also implicated in the scam, thanks to the accusations of lawyer Steve Tolliver (Raymond Milland), who wants Loxi for himself.

This is such a bizarre genre hybrid, where it eventually comes down to a battle with a huge octopus, that it's simply impossible for me not to like "Pirates of the Caribbean". It's definitely not a perfect movie, it's occasionally too lighthearted, overall a bit over the top, and jumps from one storyline to another, even though it's kind of obvious how it ends, but it's still something worth seeing.
