Synopsis

A brutal, sadistic overseer runs a pearl-diving operation on a South Seas island and treats the natives terribly, torturing them and violating their women. A local native girl falls in love with him, despite his sadistic tendencies, and things come to a head when the locals can't put up with any more of his brutality and take matters into their own hands.
