Charlton Heston, who goes by the nickname "King", runs his Hawaiian plantation with an iron fist. When his sister wants to marry a local Hawaiian boy, he strongly objects on the basis of keeping the family blood "pure". By the way, Chuck has a Hawaiian mistress on the side. The headstrong sister (Yvette Mimieux) goes ahead with the plans anyway, until her fiance is accidentally killed one night by you-know-who. However, it turns out Yvette was really in love with her fiance's brother all along, meanwhile Chuck's mistress is having his baby. More soap opera plot twists follow, until the whole thing collapses under its own weight. It does have some beautiful location shooting in Hawaii, and Yvette looks great in her one-piece bathing suit.
