Un ingegnere minerario arriva su una piccola isola dei Mari del Sud ricca di giacimenti di stagno. Qui, col lavoro e l'esempio, entra nelle simpatie dei nativi che sgobbano per lui in cambio di viveri e medicinali. Il capotribù però gli è ostile a causa di una ragazza, sua promessa sposa, che mostra una certa simpatia per l'ingegnere. La tensione aumenta e alcuni episodi drammatici portano i due a una lotta senza quartiere che si rivela mortale.
