Synopsis
The plot concerned the crew of the merchant ship Dunbar, which docks in the Pool of London. The crew are given shore leave, and soon become involved in smuggling and petty crime in post-war London. Unusually for the time, it tackled themes of racism, as one of the ship's crew was a Jamaican.
