****SPOILERS**** Gilbert Roland as prisoner #129 or Dan Curtis is stuck on the penal island of Curuba where his wife using a fake name Diana Bryce,Helen Gilbert,is planning to help him escape. That with the help of prison doctor Henry Brown, Alan Mowbray, by faking his death from typhoid and sneaking him off the island on a docked freighter delivering supplies. Diana got herself on the island by having the ship she was on attacked by a slow and lumbering Japanese bomber that she may have paid off to strife it and now is using her time on the island to get Dan or "Danny Boy" off it. It's just as Dan was about to get freed that Diana found out that he was really a low down and two timing creep and decided to leave him. That after paying off the captain of the freighter "Mariposa" Capt. Sanchez, Ernie Adams, with her last dollar as well as wedding ring.
Dan pressing his luck starts up with Sanchez and his crew on the "Mariposa" only to get overwhelmed and killed by them in the process. It's now up to Diana to get herself off the island without being implicated in trying to have her husband brake out and end up being there as the only woman among some 200 woman hungry men imprisoned there! Forgotten little movie that should have stayed forgotten to save the reputations of all those in it-That are very probably all dead by now-in any of their future film endeavors.
It's the beautiful blonde bombshell Helen Gilbert as Diana Bryce that makes the film as well as her well worth watching. She in fact switched horses in mid stream and ends up with the Governor of the penal colony Merrill Hammond, John Howard, after leaving her cheating husband "Danny Boy" twist in the wind. And having him end up getting his just deserts when he tried to, like he did Diana, double cross Captain Sanchez who's crew mates ended up doing him in.
