The Beachcombers

Sheet of Flame (3x1)

:

Mcloskey, the irrepressible Irishman, gets onto a scheme for fiddling the insurance company by insuring a boat he means to sink. He suckers an unwitting Nick into his fraudulent endeavors, and the two of them strive heroically (and criminally) to sink the old scow, despite the insistent intervention of well-meaning friends, who keep "saving" her.
