[2] An old man and his beautiful daughter are lured to an island on the Victorian coast with the promise of a share in a deceased person's estate.
The father finds the fortune was made from drug smuggling, the contraband being dropped off by passing steamers.
The drug smuggler is unmasked, the old man is exonerated and the detective is united with the girl.
The film was shot as a silent movie in 1929, in Melbourne and off the coast of Victoria.
The producer has performed the remarkable feat, of draining this promising story of every bit of dramatic interest by presenting it in a series of glimpses of people talking, followed by sub-titles telling what they said... T Pictures like “Tiger Island” are likely to do more harm than good to the Australian industry, and speaking kindly of them doesn’t help, for movie audiences these days are entirely composed of connoisseurs.
