Barnacle Bill.

Lazy fisherman Bill Johansen (Wallace Beery) docks his small (and sinking) fishing boat in San Pedro harbor. His daughter Virginia (Virginia Weidler) is brought to meet Bill by her Aunt Letty (Sara Haden) and asks to stay with him. Bill likes Virginia, but doesn't want the responsibility of raising a child, so he convinces Marge to let her live ashore with her. Meanwhile, reefer ship-owner John Kelly intimidates local fishermen into accepting less than market value for their fish.
