Description: Silent drama. Released as "THOSE WHO DARE"; Captain Martin Manning retires from the sea and buys a little home near the harbor where he can be in sight of his ship the "Swallow." But a delegation of sailors from the nearby "Mariner's Home" tell him the old sailors believe the ship's presence is bringing them bad luck and order him to leave.; Refusing to do so without a fair hearing, Manning appears at the Home and tells the inmates the thrilling story of the "Swallow" - a story of plotting and intrigue, of a treacherously wounded captain and a villainous snake-worshipping crew, of mutiny, murder, fighting and shipwreck. It is a stirring tale well told. And it wins the approval of even the old sailors themselves who hasten to assure the Captain that he is a sailor after their own hearts, and they are proud to have him and the "Swallow" near them.
