Plots(1)
Burt Lancaster plays David O'Keefe, a daring American sea captain whose mutinous crew dumps him unceremoniously into the ocean. The trusty mariner manages to stay alive and lands ashore on a Polynesian island. The resourceful O'Keefe decides to make the best of his predicament by embarking on a career as a coconut oil trader. He employs the services of the Island's natives, and "goes native" himself, taking a local woman as his wife. In order to make his fortune, however, O'Keefe must first battle hostile tribal chiefs who want to keep control of their island's wealth. (official distributor synopsis)
