Fluch der Tempelgötter

Kaloe, a shark hunter (Jon Hall) needs the permission of Princess Tahia (Montez) to sail in her waters. Tahia lives on a secluded island, but she and Kaloe fall in love thanks to the matchmaking of young Orano (Sabu). However, it's not all smooth sailing (never is!), as they have serious problems related to her troubled brother Tamara (Turhan Bey) and dangerous businessman Sam Miller (Thomas Gomez).

Miller and his henchman Erik (Paul Guilfoyle) have evil plans to steal jewels decorating the bottom of Princess Tahia's sacred swimming pool, but Tahia is confident the god Tangaroa will protect the pool.

Miller, however, is a very determined, evil person, who kills multiple people and frames Kaloe for one of the murders.

Thanks to the cunning of local banker-detective-lawyer-doctor Wong (Sidney Toler), perhaps Kaloe will find a way to survive...

With White Savage you get a brisk pace, bright costumes; amusing comedy, romance, beautiful set designs, lavish photography and a spectacular earthquake - Jon Hall makes a likeable hero, Sabu is charming and Maria Montez sizzles as always. She might not be a great actress but her charisma and beauty is undeniable. Nice to see Sidney Toler play a lawyer, though he still comes across as Charlie Chan. Thomas Gomez makes a nasty villain. It's an enjoyable light adventure that doesn't tax your brain.
