"Death on the Waterfront" follows a dock worker and a mysterious operative who become entangled in smuggling operations involving a valuable case marked XXX, with the worker ultimately helping to recover contraband merchandise from a waterfront setting. "Life on the Ocean Waves" depicts two U.S. Marines named Spike Downy and Bat Battingsley who are dispatched on a dangerous mission, eventually finding themselves on a pirate cruiser that travels to the hidden planetoid of Venom, where they must contend with Captain Comet, alien creatures, and an arena before attempting to escape and discover the location of secret plans.
Fuji Joe finds himself in a deadly gamble when Captain Trask, a ruthless pearler, kidnaps his friends Ehau and Nolea to extract the secret of the pearl beds guarded by the legendary White Octopus. With Ehau's life hanging in the balance, Fuji Joe must decide whether to reveal the dangerous truth about the lagoon's icy currents and deadly mysteries—or watch those he cares about perish at Trask's hands.
When The Kid takes a dock job at the waterfront, he's unknowingly caught up in a dangerous smuggling scheme—one that involves hiding a deported criminal named Servo in a shipping case bound for a warehouse rendezvous. As identities get swapped and plans go violently awry, The Kid finds himself trapped between ruthless dock bosses like Mike Garcia and Benny, and the very man he was meant to help escape. With guns drawn and tempers flaring on the teeming docks of the big city, survival becomes a matter of being in the right place—or the wrong one—at exactly the wrong time.
In 1066, King Harold of England confronted a dire two-front crisis: his rebel brother Earl Tostig and the Norwegian king Hadrada invaded from the north while Duke William of Normandy assembled a conquest fleet across the Channel. After routing the northern invaders at Stamford Bridge, Harold rushed south to face the Norman army, only to meet a devastating defeat at Hastings that would reshape England's future.
Two Marines with two weeks of liberty and a scheme to reach Tokyo—Spike Dowdy and Bat Battingsley—end up commandeering an abandoned ship after a local promises them salvage money, only to discover their navigation skills are about as reliable as their ability to stay out of trouble. What should've been a quick voyage to see Georgette turns into a comedy of errors on the high seas, complete with a goat, a suspicious fog bank, and consequences neither leatherneck saw coming.
