Synopsis by Hal Erickson

This Swedish melodrama was released in the U.S. as Strange Harbor. Based on Joseph Kjellgren's play Unknown Swedish Soldier, the film takes place at the time of the Spanish Civil War. Adolph Jahr plays an utterly apolitical captain, hired to ship a load of armaments to Spain. After much soul-searching, the Captain decides to enter the ongoing battle himself. This main storyline is set against a waterfront background of intrigue, treachery, murder, and occasionally romance. The nominal leading lady is Hona Wieselmann, a Danish actress making her first appearance in a Swedish production.
