Yellow Fingers

Yellow Fingers is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and written by Eve Unsell.

The film stars Olive Borden, Ralph Ince, Claire Adams, Edward Peil, Sr., Otto Matieson, and Nigel De Brulier.

[1][2][3][4] As described in a film magazine review,[5] Captain Shane, a South Seas trader, known on the island as "Brute" Shane due to the roughhouse methods he uses on his men and native islanders, rears Saina, a half-caste, as if she was a young white woman.

Nona, an English damsel, stows away on Shane's ship to escape Kwong Li, a Chinese man who desires her.

When Saina finds that Shane loves Nona and learns the secret circumstances of her birth, she temporarily reverts to native ways, and even performs a native dance in traditional islander clothing with grace and abandon.
