The story

The film follows three merchant marine sailors—Jack, Tripod and Ginger—back and forth between their home port of London and the seaports of the world, drinking, brawling, gambling, pursuing prostitutes (actually anything in a skirt), fighting a fire aboard ship and each other, and signing on a new vessel as soon as they have spent their pay. Jack has dozens of girls in every port, but in London he meets his match in Joan, who works in the Shipping Office. For years, he tries in vain to seduce her.
