Spoilers ahead
Gregg Palmer as Kimo, the island prince, watches his people suffer from a spreading plague on a remote South Seas isle. He is accused of murdering his father, the island chief, with a poisonous medicine supposedly supplied by a group of American scientists stationed at a field lab. The truth appears to be far more brutal: the real murderers are Robert Swan as Tano, a witch doctor, and Baynes Barron as Chief Maranka, who condemn Kimo to death by a knife thrust into his heart. Kimo pleads with his wife Korey, played by Suzanne Ridgway, to prove his innocence, but she refuses.
