Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Fred McMurray stars in Joseph Kane's rollicking adventure as Captain Boll, a tough 19th-century merchant seaman seeking a treasure trove of jewels on a remote island in the Dutch East Indies. Helped by native girl Bintang, he defies local laws to take the gems, but the pair are pursued by the vengeful tribesmen. Just as escape seems impossible, the island's volcano erupts, but can Boll and Bintang escape its fury? Such was the success of this epic that it was a staple of children's matinees into the late 70s, thanks to the stupendous special effects by Howard and Theodore Lydecker.
