An epic silent adventure about a Spanish sea captain who falls for a German spy and ends up, for a while at least, on the wrong side during the First World War. Ingram shot this in Europe with financial backing from MGM, and there's some striking location work around the ruins at Pompeii. Michael Powell was a production assistant on the film. Alice Terry was Ingram's wife.
