PRODUCER
attack on Captain Blackie — and by its results — for Captain Blackie is ingloriously vanquished.
Following this encounter, Tom becomes "the notorious Colonel Blake," with a reputation as the most dangerous gambler on the river. Eventually fate brings him back to his old home town, where Elvira has become the unhappy wife of Major Patterson, now overseer of her father's estate, which is badly run down and heavilv mortgaged. Dramatically reappearing incognito, Tom first awes and humbles the "brave" men of the family and then reveals his identity. Lucy, who has been waiting and hoping for Tom's return, is disappointed at finding him apparently so changed, but when he explains to her that he has never had but the one fight and that his reputation is all founded on that and the fearlessness that has now become second nature, everything ends happily.
Thrills and laughter alternate and abound in this unusual story, extremely well told, of the days when little or no offense called for a fight to defend one's "honor."

8149 Code SEGUR Code of the Sea Paramount
Featuring Rod La Rocque, Jacqueline Logan, George Fatvcett
Twenty years back, John McDow, Captain of the lightship "Relief" that guards Great Barrier Reef, disobeyed the code of the sea when he weighed anchor and took his ship to rescue the girl he loved, from a schooner being battered in a storm. While the lightship was off its station, a big passenger liner was wrecked on the reef.
Bruce McDow, John's son, grows to manhood, a sufferer from his father's breach of trust. He is pointed out as a coward and the son of a coward, and believes himself to be just that. He loves Jennie Hayden, daughter of Captain Hayden, commander of the crack steamer "Northern." Hayden hates the name of McDow, but Jennie manages to obtain for Bruce a commission as first mate on the lightship "Relief," although the town is up in arms against him.
Jennie goes for a cruise on the yacht "Neroid." The captain of the lightship is transferred and Bruce is left in command. That night a great storm comes up. The "Northern" is crawling in with a broken propeller shaft. Suddenly, in the midst of the terrible gale, a wireless message comes from the "Neroid" in distress near the reef. The lightship, if it goes to the rescue, is the only thing that can save Jennie Hayden. And the "Northern," with 400 passengers, is groping her way toward the Reef, dependent on the light! Bruce is faced by the same problem as was his father, twenty years before.
But he solves it differently' The lightship remains at the station, and Bruce, alone in a launch, goes through those mountainous waves to the rescue of the passengers on the "Neroid." You will hold your breath as you watch him fighting his way.
One of the greatest storm pictures ever filmed and more intensely dramatic.
You will see ships buffetted by mountainous waves, a little yacht riding the
tempest like a cockle-shell until it grinds itself to pieces against a reef, a cringing
coward become a red-blooded, fighting he-man and a happy, satisfactory ending.
