Dangerous Waters Synopsis

Charley Le Grant comes upon Big Alec fishing at night with illegal nets. They fight, but Big Alec's boat is the faster one and he gets away. Mary Rebecca sees the chase and later chides Charley for his poor sailing tactics. Charley bravely confronts Big Alec in a sailor's dive. Big Alec is defiant; he acknowledges he is without the law, but defies Charley, and says he will continue to fish. Yellow Handkerchief decides to take a hand. Under cover of darkness he places a half-submerged piece of piling near buoy number four, planning that either Charley's or Big Alec's boat will run amuck. Charley engages a new and faster boat. The next day he chases Big Alec and has almost caught him when his boat jams the submerged pile. The boat goes over, and Charley, stunned, is thrown into the bay. Mary commands a boat and goes to his rescue, saves him; Charley is grateful, Mary indifferent. Charley goes into the dive again after Big Alec.
