In addition, documentary footage visits Pitcairn Island in 1933, offering a look at the place where Christian and his men took shelter and visiting with several islanders who are descendants of theBounty‘s crew members.

At a South Seas club called the Isle of Forgotten Sins, a shocking murder prompts proprietor Marge (Gale Sondergaard), her diver boyfriend (John Carradine) and his sidekick (Frank Fenton) to set sail in search of a sunken treasure of gold worth $3 million.
