Flanders White: What are you doing here?
Dan McCloud: Now that's a silly question. I'm lying on my back enjoying the spectacle of outraged womanhood. A happy experience, I might add; so difficult to outrage womanhood, these days
Flanders White: Well, I'm not outraged thank you. I'm simply surprised - after all it isn't every day I find a - you'll pardon the expression - a peeping tom in my bathhouse
Dan McCloud: Unfortunately, the angle of my position was such that I was afforded only a mere glimpse of two very pretty ankles. Allow me to say the rest of you complements the ankles very well

Sung by Estelita Rodriguez
Rhonda Fleming (who looks spectacular, as always) plays the owner of a banana plantation in the Caribbean which is on the verge of going belly up. Enter Ronald Reagan, who saves the day.
Seems Reagan is a political escapee from somewhere (probably where the Democrats are still in control), so he is in this country illegally. Nasty John Wengraf, who wants to buy out Fleming, blackmails Reagan into helping him wreck the plantation. Reagan pretends to go along, but you know at some point he is going to kick somebody's butt.
The highlight of the film occurs about halfway through, with a pretty good six minute brawl. Reagan cleans house, and Fleming gets the top of her dress torn off. The rest of the film is slow going. Estelita Rodriguez sings a few songs, and Noah Beery Jr. Takes a nice part as Reagan's buddy. Grant Withers plays Fleming's drunken and former foreman.
The climax features Reagan, Fleming, et al trying to transport 8000 banana stems to a dock so that the Tropic Fruit Company will give Fleming a contract. This may have expired the Exodus sequence from "The Ten Commandments."
