Synopsis
Three sailors and a woman reach an island whose apparent remoteness offers little safety. A ruthless ruler controls the place and the choices available to its visitors. The journey becomes a struggle to escape a human threat within a tropical landscape.
Cast
DirectorsSam Newfield as "Peter Steward"
Inspirations
Robert Louis Stevenson's The Ebb Tide supplied the literary basis. Pine-Thomas gave this island adventure a larger budget than many of its usual low-cost action productions.
