Dumb South Seas nautical adventure starring Houston as the title character, who pretends to have discovered a fortune in Spanish pirate treasure. When word of the phony discovery gets out, every crooked seaman in the islands goes after Houston in an attempt to bump him off and snatch the
fictitious loot. This puts the hero's girl, Nixon, in danger as well, but Houston wipes out his opposition, killing as many as 20 men in one fight. In the end he defeats all his enemies and winds up with Nixon but no loot since it never existed anyway. Flat, contrived, and uninteresting.
