Storyline
Tom Merriam signs on the ship Altair as third officer under Captain Stone. At first things look good, Stone sees Merriam as a younger version of himself and Merriam sees Stone as the first adult to ever treat him as a friend. But after a couple strange deaths of crew members, Merriam begins to think Stone is a psychopathic madman obsessed with authority. He tries to tell others, but no one believes him, and it only makes Stone angry.. Written by Ken Yousten <kyousten@bev.net>

Anachronisms: Not in the movie but in the DVD subtitles: Tertius meets the Captain's fiancée, Miss Roberts, transcribed in the subtitles as "Ms." While this term existed in literary circles as early as 1901 (and Tertius is clearly not a literary man), it did not enter the general lexicon until 1971, 28 years after the film came out.

Captain Will Stone: [the freighter 'Altair,' under his command, is now underway] It's good for a sailor to go to sea. It's even better for an officer... Ah, it's a good feeling. In San Pedro, I was just another captain. At sea, I am... *THE* captain.See more »
