The story is set on a remote Caribbean island, entirely populated by descendants of Sir Henry Morgan's pirate crew. Morgan's brutish great-great-grandson Henry Morgan (Gibson Gowland) intends to shower himself with gold and to that end forces his daughter Anita (Lupe Velez) into a marriage with despicable moneylender Joseph Horngold (Jean Hersholt). Coming to Anita's rescue is shipwrecked American sailor Bob Wade (John Holland), whose presence sparks an unchecked riot on the island. The film's most chilling scene finds Morgan. Director Henry King also produced the film through his own Inspiration Pictures Corporation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
Fortunately, it stars the lovely Lupe Velez. She was enough to need a Production Code just to cross the street.

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
Human trafficking, larceny, murder and attempted murder, lust, and romance, this movie has it all.
