Danger in the Pacific

Epidemiologist Don Barry is recruited by British Secret Service agent Leo Carillo to go on an expedition to somewhere in the South Pacific. While Barry is looking for an herb to use as a medicine, Carillo will be looking for an enemy outpost, complete with a radio mast. Barry is reluctant. He's just got back from Africa and is scheduled to marry Louise Allbritton, but agrees, dragging along cameraman Andy Devine. Miss Allbritton follows in her private plane.

Mostly it's about the trek up the jungle river, led by local Edgar Barrier, along with leopard attacks and tribes of hostile natives. Director Lewis Collins does what he can do with a vague and hackneyed script, but this Universal second feature obviously lacks the budget and script to be more than another jungle adventure movie, with a last-minute rescue at the enemy location. With Turhan Bey and Holmes Herbert.
