Philippa Crosby March (Doris Kenyon) arrives in Singapore set to marry Dr. George March. Dashing playboy Hugh Dawltry (William Powell) sets his sights on her. Her marriage is disappointing and her eyes start drifting. One night, the drums start pounding at the native village. It's a love festival.
This is a pre-Code romance melodrama. There is a bit of exoticism with the drumming love-fest. It's jungle fever. I'm not in love with this coupling or even this love triangle, but I am a little intrigued. The ending is a little unsatisfying although I can accept it. I want the drama to be elevated.
