Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Everyone acts up a storm in this British melodrama. The scene is New Guinea, where trader Martin South (Eric Bransby Williams) is betrayed by his partner Mordyke (Jameson Thomas) and left for dead in the jungle. Escaping marauding wildlife and hostile natives, South finally manages to make his way back to civilization. He arrives just in time to prevent his sweetheart Eleanor (Lillian Douglas) from marrying the treacherous Mordyke. Frank Hurley was producer, director and writer of this heavy-breathing actioner, so he had only himself to blame for the tepid critical response.
