No, this isn't very good but actually the cast gel quite well as we get ourselves immersed in a seafaring adventure that's got piracy and insurance fraud in it! It hits the ground running, well the ocean really, with Rhonda Fleming's "Faith" determined to keep onto her half of a ship that belonged to her now dead dad and that is now being pointed towards the titular island by a trio of erstwhile pig rustlers. It's got a valuable cargo of champagne. Or has it? Hmmm. Anyway, "Capt. Lochlin" (Paul Kelly) and his very young looking mate "Herrick" (Rory Calhoun) soon ally with the gal, predicable romantic sparks fly and there's the malevolent "Attwater" (Alan Napier) to outwit in what has to be one of the daftest denouements I've seen. The budget, or lack of it, is obvious from the low standard of the production but the writing gives us the odd line to smile at and there's enough action too. Nope, you'll never remember it, but it's got just enough swash and buckle to keep it afloat for an hour.
