      Set in Tahiti's port city of Papeete, the story revolves around three desperate characters: Huish, a duplicitous Cockney; Herrick, a struggling businessman; and Davis, a bitter sea captain. After a schooner arrives with a deceased crew due to smallpox, Davis is hired to command the vessel. He devises a scheme with Huish to steal the ship and its cargo, leaving the inexperienced Herrick to manage the chaotic voyage.
