It's 1913 and Dennis McHale, the manager of an illegal gold mining operation near the Panama Canal, is on-the-run from the local police. One year later he resurfaces as Binke, a gunrunner in the South Sea islands, still sporting an infectious smile and a devil-may-care attitude. Once again, he narrowly escapes from being sent to prison. Whether he's a soldier of fortune in Shanghai, an army officer during World War I or the tough-talking "Captain Easter" who organizes an armed revolt in South America-McLaglen portrays this unforgettable character as a lovable scoundrel, laughing his way through one adventurous situation after another.
