Reed Howes, the original Arrow Collar man (or so his publicity claimed), stars in The Bashful Buccaneer. Howes plays a writer of rip-roaring sea adventures who (naturally) has never been on the bounding main in his life. To glean first-hand information, he hires out a boat owned by heroine Dorothy Dwan and heads out on a treasure hunt. He proves he's got what it takes when the crew stages a mutiny. Featured in the cast was "Gunboat" Smith, a popular boxer of the era. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
