Synopsis:
Wesley lands on an island in the South Seas and rescues a girl from the natives. The natives have been incited by Red Hatch, a white man, trying to drive the girl's father away from the nearby pearl beds. When the natives begin an attack on the harbor, Wesley uses his plane to scare them. The natives turn on Red Hatch and make peace with the white men. Sandman returns the girl to her father before leaving the island.
