On the Island of Manukura, a French colony in the South Seas, joyful Terangi is a leader among the natives and the first mate of the Katopua, the tall ship of Captain Nagle. Terangi marries Marama and soon sails to Tahiti. While in a bar playing with other natives, Terangi is offended by an alcoholic French racist and he hits him, breaking his jaw. Despite Captain Nagles testimony, Terangi is sentenced to six months of forced labor since the victim had political connections with the Powers That Be. Captain Nagle asks the Governor Eugene DeLaage to uses his influence to help Terangi, but the governor refuses. Terangi unsuccessfully tries to escape from the prison, and each attempt increases his sentence. Eight years later, he finally escapes and his jailbreak is celebrated in Manukura. Father Paul finds his canoe and brings Terangi to the island. But a devastating hurricane also arrives in the island threatening the dwellers.
Terangi, first mate on a transport that plies the South Pacific, is happy to return to his home island of Manukura. Hes home to marry his beloved Marama but they only have one night together before he must set off on the 600-mile trip to Tahiti. There, however, he gets into a bar fight and is sentenced to six months imprisonment. His several attempts at escape fail, adding years to his sentence. When he does manage to escape, he makes his way home and is assisted by the kind Father Paul. He is pursued by Governor DeLaage, a strict overseer of the island and its people. When he concludes that Terangi has returned to the island, he sets off to find him, just as a gigantic hurricane descends upon them.
