A cautionary tale of romantic ecology? Exotic anyway, with McCrea beaching his yacht in the South Seas and falling in love with native looker Del Rio. When the interloper decides that he would be much happier living with his Luana in paradise than returning to his empty modern lifestyle, he upsets the girl's family...and maybe even the local deities.
