Story
As this is a lost film, not even the AFI has any story or plot on it. By the promotional material that survives, it's a typical South Seas story found all over the silent film era just a few years before sound arrived. The cast is made up mostly of silent film veterans.Pictorial History of the Talkies, p.61 by Daniel Blum, c.1958(original printing)
