HUISH, the little Cockney, had sobered up long enough to take a fling at stopping this madman with the rifle. Now he lay, dying a rat's death in a pool of vitriol. Thorbecke, outcast of the Seven Seas, had done the same. Now his hands pointed in mute surrender at the cobalt heaven of this island of pearls. Only Herrick was left to defend the girl against this man who thought he was God. Herrick! University man turned beach-comber. The madman's gun lifted again, cocked. The girl saw his eyes, the eyes of a devil. The gun leveled . . . the shot rang out to shatter the somnolent quiet of the island . . . forever.
Had the madman won ? Had Huish's pitiful little life been tossed on the lap of the gods in vain? Had Thorbecke brought them through the fury of the hurricane for this?
Was Herrick to lose his one last chance to prove himself a man? Was this beautiful white girl to descend into the pit of a madman's private hell forever?
The South Seas , . . Robert Louis Stevenson's South Seas, with all their haunting beauty . . . with all their primitive, soul-searing adventure . . . with all the vicious fury of their mighty ship-destroying typhoons . . . now at last brought to the screen as Stevenson himself saw them in this greatest of all adventure-pictures, produced in natural color . . . Another thundering triumph for the company which gave you the first natural color adventurepicture, "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" . . . PARAMOUNT!
