An innocuous tearjerker, this film tells the story of a rubber planter in South America, Lynn, who is jilted by his fiancee back in the U.S. He has trouble gaining the respect of the natives, but is soon befriended by Bennett, a nightclub singer who looks after him. Lynn's employers disapprove when he marries the woman, saving her from a detective in the U.S. who is investigating her past. To protect her, Lynn pretends that she is his stateside fiancee. It is all for naught because the private eye finds out her real identity and drags her back to stand trial in the U.S. Lynn goes along to clear her name. This is a remake of OIL FOR THE LAMPS OF CHINA (1935).
