Moby Dick (1956)
Obwohl sie vom wahnsinnig wirkenden Elias davor gewarnt werden, heuern der Matrose Ismael und der Harpunier Queequeg auf dem Walfangschiff „Pequod“ an. Dass sich Ahab, der Kapitän dieses Schiffs, an Bord befindet, vermittelt sich ihnen in den ersten Tagen auf See nur durch die Geräusche, die sein künstliches Bein nachts auf Deck verursacht. Schließlich bekommen sie ihn zu Gesicht. Ahab trägt eine Beinprothese, die aus dem Kieferknochen eines Pottwals angefertigt worden ist. Dieser ungewöhnliche Werkstoff ist damit zu erklären, dass der Kapitän einen weißen Wal namens Moby Dick für den Verlust seines Beins verantwortlich macht.
