Plot

edit

In the South Pacific, undercover agents Wally and Jinx look for their local contact who was shot by the commandant, a Nazi, before he could pass details of a secret German/Japanese radio.

Island girls under taboo, Tana and Maui, agree to help, but for a price – they want to get married!

The Nazis kidnap the chief to force the natives to cut down trees to build an air field, but cutting the trees is forbidden. Wally and Jinx rescue the chief and a Japanese plane crashes in the trees that were never cut.

The islanders are free from occupation, and the two couples leave with the help of a destroyer.
