'Two rival newspaper editors in New York send writing teams to the South Pacific to find new material; one sends an American, "Headlines" Haggerty, and a "silly-ass" Englishman, Clarence Worthington, and the other sends two women [Clara and Dolly]. The four reporters meet on board the same ship and are marooned together on the tropical Australian coast after a Japanese submarine sinks their ship. They are rescued by a girl who gives them shelter in a tumbledown shack where she lives with her gruff father and precocious little nephew, Horace. With their Australian friends the four reporters uncover and foil a plot by the Japanese to invade Australia' (Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper. Australian Film, 1900-1977 (1980), p. 256)
