Sea Devils (1953) is a British-American historical adventure film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Rock Hudson and Yvonne De Carlo. The story was adapted from the novel Les Travailleurs de la mer by Victor Hugo. The scenes at sea were shot in the Channel Islands.

Plot

Gilliatt (Rock Hudson), a fisherman-turned-smuggler on the isle of Guernsey, agrees to transport a beautiful woman (Yvonne De Carlo) to the French coast in the year 1800. She tells him she hopes to rescue her brother from the guillotine. Gilliatt finds himself falling in love and so feels betrayed when he later learns this woman is a countess helping Napoleon plan an invasion of England. In reality, however, the "countess" is an English agent working to thwart this invasion. When Gilliatt finds this out, he returns to France to rescue the woman whose true purpose has been discovered by the French.
