Broke and stranded on an island, the captain decides to show-off a gold coin he owns as a part of a much larger cache. Naturally the whole island is abuzz with the news and who wouldn?t like to lay their hands on this enormous mullah that Bill claims to have found? Amazingly, the island has a seedy waterfront with all the shady characters that normally make such places their haunt, but there are also some sophisticated goons who operate from behind legitimate business fronts. George Houston was tailor-made for this role with his magnificent physique, booming baritone and piercing blue eyes. The use of local talent in the cast lends the narrative authenticity while a couple of lilting songs emanating from Bill's beautiful voice box provide some respite in an action packed drama. Forced to defend his non-existent treasure and his ladylove, Bill is one busy man! When the guns finally stop booming, Bill has Madge all for himself, and you have a happy ending to a blood-soaked saga of illusive treasures!
