Strange Cargo background

Strange Cargo

A group of escaped convicts from Devil's Island are drawn to a mysterious and charismatic leader who bears a resemblance to Christ.

In the penal colony off South America's northern coast, Verne yearns to escape. He enlists Julie, a saloon girl, in his plan, but she betrays him. Undeterred, Verne joins six other convicts on their escape, reuniting with Julie along the way. A mystical figure among them seems to possess clairvoyance, guiding the group through the jungle and onto a boat, as they strive to reach the mainland.
