Clifford Southey - a pompous, self-made man - arrives in Tahiti to establish a luxury tourist hotel. There to his horror, he discovers his old army and class enemy Brett Aimsley living an idyllic existence with a beautiful Tahitian girl. Ancient rivalries are rekindled when Southey confesses that he was responsible for Aimsley's ignominious dismissal from the British Army ... James Mason and John Mills perform with style in this lighthearted tropical comedy.
