...Lupino, sharp-faced cinema minx, fell victim to a popular domestic hazard when she slipped in her bathtub, was kept to her home with a sprained neck...
...charms of scheming Tondelayo (Lamarr). As soon as Carlson starts laying in "many silks and bangles" for the gold digging Tondelayo his days are numbered, but before he returns to civilization with a good case of malaria he manages to marry the native minx and thereby snap a few more of boss Pidgeon's nerves.

Victor Mature, the anthropoid from "One Million B. C." and Bruce Cabot spend most of the picture fighting like mad over a little minx named Losise Platt. Opinions differ as to whether Miss Platt is worth fighting over, but she can certainly...
