About

A Brest tugboat captain rescues a cargo ship's crew in a storm and meets Catherine, the captain's wife, while his sick wife wants him home.

Jean Gabin plays André Laurent, captain of the salvage tug Cyclone, working out of the Breton port of Brest. He lives there with his wife Yvonne, played by Madeleine Renaud; she is ill and suffers from his long absences at sea, concealing the seriousness of her illness from him. Yvonne wants André to spend more time at home. When a cargo ship is caught in a violent storm, André takes most of its crew aboard, including the captain's wife, Catherine, played by Michèle Morgan. Catherine refuses to return to her ship, and André calls at her hotel to make sure she is all right. An attraction grows between André and Catherine.

Based on Troubled Waters
