Synopsis: Greek-American father and son sponge diving entrepreneurs, Mike and Tony Petrakis (Gilbert Roland) (Robert Wagner), find themselves in plenty of scrapes over fishing territory with the Rhys' - a rival family of English descended hook-boat fishermen who are prepared to resort to violence and even murder to maintain their established fishing grounds. Run-ins between the Petrakis and Rhys family lead to the exchange of threats, resulting in all-out brawls, and a most surprising outcome - love. When Tony Petrakis meets Gwyneth Rhys , he falls head over heels. In this adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, will the love of two feuding families bring them together or will it tear them asunder?
