Monsoon ~1943 -BW

QUICKIE: A bar full of hoochies hook up with a couple of crooks to retrieve sunken treasure. But avast maties! Feel the wrath that greed brings through murder, betrayal and a giant monsoon.

PLOT: (from IMDB): The owner of a seedy dive and brothel on a South Seas island meets two treasure hunters looking for a sunken ship with a $3-million cargo of gold. She persuades them to let her in on the deal. Complications ensue because of intrigue, double-crosses and an approaching violent monsoon. Also titled: "Isle of Forgotten Sins".

SUMMARY: Woohoo! A brothel on a tropical island is destroyed by a couple of adventurers who can't stop fighting with each other. And I'm talking some REAL knock-down nastiness here. None of that Hollywood stunt fighting. Ok, maybe a couple of fake punches, but watch how they throw each other around. Wow. What fun to destroy a set made out of bamboo.

A detective is sitting in the bar just waiting for something nasty to happen so he can close the place down. So, it's just a matter of time until one of the girls murders a man and everybody makes a run for it. All the girls hook up with the 2 guys who destroyed the bar and they all agree to go after the sunken treasure. They sail to another island where the Captain of the sunken ship lives in luxury right on the waterfront.

There are various plans and betrayls as they go after the gold and eventually the monsoon comes. The native chief informs the Capatain to take shelter in the high ground and even though this group has lived in this area for awhile, and should know to trust the locals, do you think any of them do and seek shelter? Of course not. Gold is more important than the monsoon which will inevitably wipe everyone out. Moral of the story: Greed does not pay.
