Storyline
Army veteran Frank McCloud arrives at the Hotel Largo in Key Largo, Florida, visiting the family of George Temple, a friend who served under him and was killed in the Italian campaign several years before. Because the winter vacation season has ended and a hurricane is approaching, the hotel has only six guests. The visitors claim to be in the Florida Keys for fishing.
