Von Sternberg's synopsis of his debut feature was curt. 'Three derelicts live on a mud scow from which circumstances and environment release them after poetically conceived tribulations.' It shows a California remote from tinsel and orange groves, but with a prelapsarian capacity for hope. As a real-estate billboard in the then-empty San Fernando Valley promises, 'Here Your Dreams Come True.'
