The story

In 1927, Captain Lilly (Harry Beresford) is a steamboat captain who pilots a boat on the Mississippi River, with the help of his son, States (Lew Ayres). Along their route is a shantytown made up of houseboats, the residents of which often fight with the steamboat crowd. After a shooting match between States and shanty-boater Chicken Sam (John Carradine), Sam reveals to States his true heritage: Captain Lilly killed States' real father - a shanty-boater - and adopted States as his own son.
