Screenplay adapted from the novel "Conn of the Coral Seas" by Beatrice Grimshaw. Stephen Conn (played by Edmund Burns) is a gung-ho young adventurer in love with the beautiful Luya (Ms Roberts). The less noble and somewhat tacky Fursey (well characterized by Walter Long) hear of a gold shipment on its way to Stephen and resolve to relieve him of his treasure. Hatching a plan to kidnap Luya they reckon without the popularity of Stephen who enlists the aid of Luya's tribal members to support his cause.
Fursey and his uncouth trader-associates are attacked by Stephen and his men in their hide-out, resulting in Luya's unconditional rescue. Later, when it becomes clear that the girl's parents were actually white-skinned, the two are free to be re-united.
Creaky and dated to be sure, but this was still significant drama in the 20's. Norman Dawn directs this early Aussie drama with a firm hand and is supported by what was then the cream of Australian actors and actresses. It should also be noted that its 80 minute plus run-time virtually placed it in EPIC category!
Re-titled BLACK CARGOES OF THE SOUTH SEAS for American release.
