On a South Sea island, a local hoodlum tries to blackmail a tramp steamer's sick crewman who's wanted for wartime collaboration with the Japanese and desperate to clear his name.

A tramp steamer lands sick crewman Jake Davis on rubber-growing island Oraka, from which voluptuous, bedroom-eyed saloon singer Coral is about to be ejected because "men like her too much." But Coral's slimy boss Cognac gets her a reprieve so she can learn Jake's secret. In the process, Coral gets a bit too fond of Jake, who--suspected of wartime collaboration--resolves on new efforts to clear himself; but more complications arise.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>
