Rhythm of the Islands

Rhythm of the Islands, also known as Isle of Romance, is a 1943 American comedy film directed by Roy William Neill starring Jane Frazee.

Two ambitious guys from Brooklyn, Tommy Jones and Eddie Dolan, get the idea of buying a tropical island in the South Pacific to exploit as a tourist paradise.

They go there and start rounding up customers on the beach, to bring to native shows they set up with the help of the locals.

But before the deal goes through, a tribe of cannibals also arrive on the island, spreading terror and capturing all the natives.

Mr. Holton's daughter Joan falls in love with Tommy, but when she finds out about his friendship with their captor Nataro, her feelings cool off and instead she blames him for everything that's happened to her family.
