 An all-black Caribbean island resort welcomes flashy dancer Gertie La Rue, forced to perform in this remote spot because she two-timed Al, her Harlem lover and backer, once too often. As Gertie amuses herself by dazzling the local men with her sex appeal, sanctimonious Mr. Christian (shades of  Rain ) schemes to either reform her or have her thrown off the island. On opening night, her sensuous performance exceeds Christian s worst fears...but more serious trouble awaits.
