Don Terry's last leading-man assignment at Universal (save for his serial duties in Don
Winslow of the Coast Guard) was the "B" actioner Danger in the Pacific. As usual, Terry is
teamed with Leo Carrillo and Andy Devine, this time united by the common interest of an
expedition through an uncharted Pacific island. Scientist-explorer David Lynd (Terry) leaves
wealthy bride-to-be June Claymore (Louise Allbritton) at the altar to join photographer Andy
Parker (Devine) and British secret service agent Leo Marzeli (Carrillo) in search of rare
minerals. They soon run afoul of crooked trader Tagani (Turhan Bey), who's been busily
stockpiling weapons in the hills on behalf of his Nazi partners. After a variety of hair-raising
adventures (most of them courtesy of the Universal stock footage department), our three
heroes foil the Nazis' plans for a surprise invasion of the South Seas.
