2.0 / 10 · TMDB

Velma is unhappily married to Sam Patton, a millionaire roué. Aboard his yacht bound for the South Seas, Sam pays more attention to his guests than to his wife, and she flees when he attempts to force liquor on her. A sudden paralytic stroke renders him helpless, and she believes him dead. A storm comes up, and Velma is washed ashore on a desert isle. She is later joined by Lieut. Paul Mack, whose hydroplane has run out of fuel. They fall in love, but their idyll is broken when they are captured by a band of moonshiners.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic adventure drama, relying on the contrast between the stifling world of wealth and the raw freedom of nature. It explores the sea and tropical landscapes as a stage for a story of personal liberation and newfound love.

What lingers after the final reel is the thrill of escape and the precarious beauty of a second chance, far from the rules of society. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Stuart Paton
