The explanation already almost explains the entire plot and ending of the film.

This is a somewhat strange film in which we see Robinson as a captain of a fishing boat, he is a somewhat peculiar character who talks a lot and when his ship returns to shore he is always the only one who does not have a wife waiting for him.

He clearly has difficulty with this, when one day one of his crew members has an accident at sea during the hunt and dies, Robinson has to visit his daughter to share the bad news.

Eventually he marries her, even though she has no feelings for him.

But then she falls in love with one of his crew members who is also a good friend of his.
