Tiger Shark

Boisterous, Rabelaisian Portegese immigrant Mike Mascarenhas (Edward G. Robinson) is a larger-than-life tuna fisherman in the waters off San Diego who captains a successful tuna boat schooner despite having lost a hand to an aggressive shark years earlier. His best friend, first mate Pipes Foley (Richard Arlen) becomes his best friend after Mike rescues him from a voracious shark. When another crew member, Miguel Silva (William Ricciardi), is killed by the man-eaters, Mike takes a paternal, later romantic, interest in Miguel's pretty daughter, Quita (Zita Johann), whom he marries. The ecstatic Mike doesn't realize that Pipes and Quita are falling in love which leads to tragic consequences.
