Fish-Kettle John (1966)

The savage and boundless sea has always been cruelly just to the rugged and weather-beaten seaman, Fish-Kettle John, and his family. Nestled in a secluded bay encircled by dangerously steep cliffs and the eternal water's cerulean embrace, John senses that their haven's incorruptible silence is forever disrupted by an invisible intruder. Perched on the towering precipice, a menacing figure in black from John's ignoble past has set his sights on him, watching like a rapacious hawk his every move. His only companions in the endless wilderness are his trusted switch-blade, and a thirst for retribution so feral and unquenched, it could slice the blue skies in two. Now, there is only one way to appease the hungry desire for blood--and as the experienced mariner is prepared for the worst--death is quietly approaching. Can the sins of man be forgiven in a single jab?
