Ambitious sea captain finds riches in the South Seas., 30 October 1999
7/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

Capt. David O'Keefe (Burt Lancaster) sails the South Seas and finds an island that he thinks will make him rich. He becomes a king while trying to dupe the islanders of their Copra. Joan Rice plays a beautiful island girl. This movie kind of takes a long time to go really nowhere. The scenery is great. Other members of the cast: Benson Fong, Grant Taylor and Andre' Morell.
