Gun Cargo

Gun Cargo tells the story of a Maritime Board of Inquiry looking into the loss of the Black Rover. Captain Jim Parker, recommended by Fred Winthrop, takes command of the ship unaware of its illegal cargo of contraband weapons.

The film's journey to release is notable. Initially titled "Contraband," production began in 1930 but faced several delays, resulting in a complex history with footage from HELL HARBOR being incorporated later. It was not until 1949 that Gun Cargo was finally aired on television.

Collectors may appreciate the film's rarity, as it has never had a theatrical release and is available in DVD format. With its blend of action and crime elements, Gun Cargo offers a glimpse into an era of independent filmmaking and maritime drama.
