After a young sailor is pulled from the sea near a Polynesian island, his rescue turns into a romance that collides with local custom and looming disaster. Dolores del Río is Luana, the daughter of a king who is already promised to another man; Joel McCrea’s Johnny sweeps her into a brief escape from the life laid out for her. Their idyll unfolds amid island ritual, family obligation, and the threat of a volcano, pushing the story toward a reckoning between private desire and the demands placed on Luana.
