Swamp Water is simply not a good film in an array of aspects, the characters so nasty.
Firstly the protagonist's dog runs off into the swamp, then it cuts to Ben at home looking for the dog... meaning he left it there. Now he's going back to look for it, leaves his canoe and wanders through the swamp, all making little sense. A girl, Mabel sorts after him, he tells her of his good intentions towards her, she finds out something and now has blackmail in mind. She leaves him high and dry for no reason and then gets jealous and acts out, the writing's just awful. The protagonist's worked out who the guilty party is, but didn't factor in that they'd try to stop Keefer's return. Keefer basically tells him to get himself killed to prove he's not with them, which he stupidly does, but they miss, the end.
