Overview

A young US Navy sailor, Johnny Drake (Dennis Hopper), is on shore leave in a small seaside town. While exploring the local boardwalk, he meets Mora (Linda Lawson), a mysterious and beautiful woman who performs as a mermaid in a sideshow attraction. As Johnny grows closer to Mora, he learns of her tragic past and the strange deaths of her previous lovers, and begins to question whether Mora might be a mythical siren luring men to their doom or merely a troubled soul haunted by her past.
