Riprendendosi, scopre l'immensa quantità dei noci di cocco con cui avrebbe potuto far soldi ma gli indigeni si oppongono al commercio. David non riuscendo a convincerli si trasferisce ad Hong Kong e qui farà amicizia con Sien Tang il quale gli offrirà una nave per ripartire in cerca di fortuna. Rimanendo ferito nelle Isole Salomone da feroci indigeni, verrà soccorso a Palau dove incontrerà il suo amore: Dalabo. Costretto a ripartire David scopre che l'isola Yap è stata conquistata da un pirata. Riuscendo a sconfiggerlo diverrà re e potrà riabbracciare Dalabo.

His Majesty O'Keefe (1954)

AdventureActionDramaRomance
Men steal for it. Nations go to war for it. The it is oil - and it grows on trees. Coconut oil is the precious lifeblood of 1870s South Seas traders. And lots of real blood will be spilled to get it! Screen royalty Burt Lancaster is His Majesty O'Keefe in this last of three adventures that (along with The Flame and the Arrow and The Crimson Pirate) blew a revitalizing wind into the sails of the swashbuckler genre. Action, cunning and derring-do are watchwords of the title seafarer as he befriends, defends and ultimately rules the islanders of exotic Yap. Lensed on gorgeus Fiji locations, grandly scored by Robert Farnon and rousingly directed by Byron Haskin, His Majesty O'Keefe delivers heroics of regal proportions.
