San Francisco lawyer Leslie Howard (as Daniel "Dan" Pritchard) assumes guardianship of South Sea island spitfire Conchita Montenegro (as Tamea Larrieau), as directed by her expiring father. The nubile young woman crawls all over Mr. Howard and gyrates her hips. Howard is turned on, but his socialite fiancée Karen Morley (as Maisie Morrison) is turned off. Reminded that she not white (Caucasian) and therefore not a good sex partner for Howard, Ms. Montenegro copulates with him anyway...
In an attempt to break up the mismatched couple, Howard's socially-conscious father C. Aubrey Smith sends Montenegro back to her native island. Howard follows. Their paradise turns out to be hotter than expected when Montenegro lets local hunk Bob Gilbert (as Tolongo) look under her grass skirt. Howard sweats it out with newfound drinking buddy Clyde Cook (as Porter). This was one of many "South Sea Island" films luring in audiences with sex appeal and giving them a lesson about race mixing.
**** Never the Twain Shall Meet (5/16/31) W.S. Van Dyke ~ Leslie Howard, Conchita Montenegro, Karen Morley, Clyde Cook
