Two Years Before the Mast (1946)
Ladd takes to the high seas in this adventure based on the 1834 travel book by Richard Henry Dana Jr. that exposed the conditions of sailors aboard merchant ships. Ladd stars as Charles Stewart, the spoiled son of a ship magnate who gets shanghaied onto one of his father's ships. He spends the next year under the tyrannical rule of the ship's captain and eventually finds the courage to lead the crew to mutiny.

O.S.S. (1946)
Set during World War II, Ladd plays a member of an American spy ring who is sent into France with the objective of destroying the French railway system. But as his mission gets more complicated, he must decide between obeying his commands and being a hero.
