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. (Verleiher-Text)
