Synopsis:

Hell Below Zero is a 1954 murder mystery film, starring Alan Ladd in the second of his films for Warwick Films. The plot revolves around the death of Captain Nordahl, on a factory ship in Antarctic waters, lost overboard in mysterious circumstances. Captain Nordahl is an associate in a Norwegian whaling company: Bland-Nordahl. Duncan Craig, an American, played by Ladd, meets Judie Nordahl, the captain's daughter on his way to South Africa where he gets even with a business partner who cheated him. With little money left and a desire to see Judie again, Craig signs on to be a mate on the ship taking Judie to Antarctica. On arrival in Antarctic waters, Craig finds suspicious evidence that seems to implicate Erik Bland, the new captain of the factory ship, in a conspiracy. Another murder follows, and the film concludes with a dramatic showdown on the ice.

Duncan Craig signs on a whaling ship, partly because his own business deal has fallen through, partly to help Judie Nordhall find her father. Rumor has it that her father may have been murdered by Erik Bland, son of her father's partner and her one-time lover. Duncan and Erik find themselves on rival whaleboats and, ultimately, on an ice floe.

En route to South Africa to find out what happened to his lost investment there, a man meets up with a woman looking to uncover the mystery of her missing father, a whaler. Together the two unite in a trek to uncover the mystery, a trail that leads to a possible murder in the cold seas of the Antartic.
