To avoid the advances of the male conductor she runs away with Fredric March, to his private island in the Java Sea, only to become involved in a plot which threatens both their lives--a plot made all the more evil in that it comes from the warped mind of a jaded soldier of fortune (Sir Cedric Hardwicke) and his knife-throwing lieutenant (Jerome Cowan...
