- Synopsis:
- André Laurence (Louis Jourdan) accompanies his college roommate, Tenga (Jeff Chandler), back to Tenga's Polynesian island home. There, André assumes the native life and, after many trials with the native customs and their suspicions, marries his friend's sister, Kalua (Debra Paget). Their marriage is barren of children.
