Output (English): Harvey Cheyne Freddie Bartholomew is the spoiled son of American business tycoon Frank Burton Cheyne Melvyn Douglas. He is shunned by his classmates at a private boarding school, and eventually suspended for bad behavior. His father therefore takes his son with him on a business trip to Europe, travelling there by transAtlantic steamship. Mid passage, Harvey falls overboard in the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. He is rescued by a PortugueseAmerican fisherman, Manuel Fidello Spencer Tracy, and taken aboard the fishing schooner Were Here, from Gloucester, Massachusetts. Harvey is shocked the schooners captain, Disko Troop Lionel Barrymore, intends fishing in the Atlantic for three more months. He fails to persuade the captain to take him back to New York nor can he convince him of his wealth; but Captain Disko offers Harvey temporary crew membership until they return to port. Harvey is reluctant to do real work but eventually accepts. Befriended by Captain Troops son, Dan Mickey Rooney, he becomes acclimated to the demanding fishing lifestyle. The Were Here fills with fish they catch. In the climactic race back to the Gloucester, Massachusetts port against a rival schooner, the Jennie Cushman, Manuel climbs to the top of the mast to furl the sail. However, the mast cracks and he is plunged into the icy sea. Manuel realizes that he is fatally injured because some of the rigging is entangled around his legs underwater; he tells the captain to cut him free from the boat, knowing this will kill him. As Manuel says goodbye to Harvey, who is crying and distraught, the captain cuts the rigging around Manuel, who sinks below the water. Eventually, the schooner returns to port and Harvey is reunited with his father, who is impressed by his sons greater maturity. The film closes with Harvey and his father commemorating Manuel at a church ceremony, before starting a sailing adventure together.
