Club Paradise

In this offbeat comedy, Jack Moniker (no actor specified), a Chicago firefighter who's forced into premature retirement after a job-related injury, seeks solace on the picturesque Caribbean island of Saint Nicholas. With a sizeable disability insurance payout in hand, he purchases a modest property and settles into island life. Meanwhile, Anthony Croyden Hayes (no actor specified), appointed by the British crown as governor of St. Nicholas, proves more interested in indulging his vacationing impulses than attending to his gubernatorial duties. Miss Phillipa Lloyd (no actor specified), who initially visits Saint Nicholas with friends before deciding to make it her permanent home, captures Jack's heart and becomes his girlfriend.

As Jack navigates island life, he forms an unlikely alliance with Ernest Reed (no actor specified), a financially strapped reggae musician, and together they hatch a plan to establish Club Paradise, a low-rent resort catering to tourists seeking adventure. The duo creates a brochure featuring Jack in various disguises, which piques the interest of a handful of visitors, including Barry and Barry, who are drawn to the island's laid-back vibe and the promise of marijuana-fueled escapades. Terry Hamlin (no actor specified), a travel writer for The New York Times, also arrives on the scene, only to find herself entwined in a romantic entanglement with Governor Hayes.

As Club Paradise becomes a reality, it attracts a motley crew of tourists eager to experience island life, but not without its challenges. For example, suburban housewife Linda White (no actor specified) finds herself struggling to reconcile her desire for excitement with the mundane routine of her married life with Randy. Amidst this chaos, Voit Zerbe (actor not specified) emerges as a major player, seeking to oust Jack and Ernest from their property in order to build a high-end casino on the beach as part of a deal with two business partners.

To achieve his goal, Zerbe enlists the help of local Prime Minister Solomon Gundy (no actor specified) and his henchmen, who attempt to shut down Club Paradise through underhanded means. In response, Jack and Ernest take drastic measures by sneaking onto Zerbe's yacht, where they're captured by police and thrown into jail. As tensions escalate, Ernest rallies a resistance force, prompting the threat of civil war on Saint Nicholas. Just as all hope seems lost, Jack and Governor Hayes join forces to thwart Prime Minister Gundy's plans, ultimately saving the island from chaos.

As the dust settles, Zerbe and his partners abandon their plans for Saint Nicholas and set their sights on the Cayman Islands, leaving the islanders to ponder the consequences of their actions.
