During a stormy night, smuggler Shannon told his men about a ship offshore loaded with goods. His men were afraid of the legend of the "Sea Hag" and refused to go. Out at sea the stormy waters threw Shannon off course until he spotted a lighthouse. Shannon hooked up with Heather, the daughter of the lighthouse keeper, then fled early the next morning. The rough waters were tearing his boat apart when suddenly Heather appeared and came at him, wrapped her tentacles around him, and dragged him into the sea with her. Yes, Shannon found out too late that the stories of the Sea Hag were true!
