An abundance of action was provided in this adventure saga in which Horsley plays a risk-taking pilot forced to crash near a small island in the Pacific. His entrance coincides with native unrest against the few whites on the island, sparked by the unscrupulous dealings of opportunist Beery. This German trader has shown little respect for the locals, who eventually explode when Beery attempts to take advantage of a local beauty, venting their anger against the other whites on the island. Horsely does everything possible to save the missionary and his daughter (Day), but only the girl is able to reach safety with the pilot, while all the others are killed in the uproar. Flash, Horsley's dog, is instrumental in providing the heroics. This animal and Horsely are equally forced in their deliveries, though a strong supporting cast helped to ease this problem, as did the nonstop action and fast pace. leave a comment
