So many years after he abandoned her, thinking her unfaithful, "Linda Randolph" (Rose Hobart) sets off to trace her long absent husband on an island in the East Indies. When she finds him, he is friends with, and working for, a dodgy local potentate who takes a bit of a shine to her. The unscrupulous prince seems bent on capturing her heart (or something like that..) so she and the ex-husband (Charles Bickford) have to come up with a plan to get the hell off the island. It takes about half of the film to build up anything like a head of speed; but once it does it actually moves long quite nicely and though the ending is never really in any doubt, we do have some fun getting there. It looks like the jungle is growing from pots on a back-lot somewhere in California, so don't go looking for authentic images of Krakatoa; but it's fine - if maybe a touch too long - for what it is.Show less
