Mark Sheldon (Robert Wilcox) is an undercover secret service operative. He is assigned to investigate a modern time slave organization on a desert island way out in the Pacific. The organization hires prison convicts on parole and puts them into hard labor on the island, where they are unable to leave when they wish. Sheldon’s partner on the case is just about to reveal that the head of the racketeering operation on the island is a man named Stephen Danel (Peter Lorre), when he gets murdered. Sheldon suspects that Danel has ordered the kill and decides to go on investigating on his own.

Peter Lorre has always been a loathsome creature , his voice as loathsome as his character , my favorite part is his death .
? at all the time dates response WOW 1-5 years. I’m in 2020. These great films n actors are still going strong. 79 plus years at least ?……?cool ain’t it
So much menace in Peter Lorre. So much trouble caused by women!
Interesting to see Kenneth MacDonald, seen in dozens of Three Stooges films as the villain, and Charles Middleton, villain in the Flash Gordon serials, in the same movie.
I've always tried to model myself after Peter Lorre. Slick, stealthy, superior, and meticulously groomed.
Lorre. One creepy bastard.
Thanks for this movie…I have see other alike but I can see that this one was the pioneer, the rest are copies.
(:
PS:No profanities or foul languages just creativity.
How do I get this movie on disk?
Been there. That's me. I'll take you
Loved crazy face Peter Lorre!! ???
Thank you for sharing. ♥️
✌?? ~ Thank you
Peter Lorre was great in his role, he made the movie, he was always a bad man in the movies and scary.
This entire story (and island mine set apparently ) was replicated with peter lorre again in a Cheyenne episode
Peter Lorre steals the movie… again.!!
Mr. Danel is a cruel man… fair… but cruel. If they gave awards for worst writing Robert Andrews certainly deserved one for this steaming turd… no real plot, no character development, and one of the lousiest climaxes to a story ever.
Peter Lorre is the ONLY good thing in this stinker-roo of a movie… bad acting by 5th rate actors to go along with some of the worst directing and camera work I've ever sat through but at least it has Peter Lorre in it.
Bullies always get it in the end.
Lorraine! Lorraine!
Anyone know the name of the piano piece being played at 16:37?
Actually a pretty well made movie.
The only actor in history who could be evil and funny at the same time.
I loved the way the Heroine never seemed to wear any underwear 🙂
Kenneth MacDonald as the doctor: I remember him best in the Three Stooges shorts.
Peter Lorre was always an interesting actor. He made a number of Hitchcock films.
I’m sure one of the convicts is an experienced pilot.?
Peter Lorre played an excellent true NAZI ! Liberals would applaud this.
This ranks with Ray Milland's "The Thing With Two Heads" as the worst, (best?), movie of all time!!!
What happened to this YouTuber he started uploading old movies now it’s been five years ?
Yeah, like, todays movies, todays movies man. They ain't the same as when I was a kid, man. You know? Like, I remember back in 2007, or 08, the movies were like……magical man. You know? Todays movies ain't diddly squat man.
