Isle of Destiny (DVD)

Beautiful aviatrix Virginia Allerton crash-lands her plane on an isolated Pacific Island, bringing her around-the-world flight to an abrupt end. She has been lured to the island by nefarious gun-runner Barton, who plans to use the girl as bait in an illicit arms deal. His jealous native wife, Inda, is stalking Virginia with poison darts. Marine pilot "Stripes" Thornton rushes to the rescue from the nearby base at Palo Pango in a desperate mission to free the captive girl.

B-movie all-stars William Gargan and Wallace Ford head a cast which includes Gilbert Roland, June Ford, Katherine DeMille as the sultry Inda and aging character actor Etienne Girardot in his final role. Director Elmer Clifton was an assistant and actor for director D.W. Griffith's Birth Of A Nation (1915) and Intolerance (1916) and went on to direct and write dozens of movies until his final film, Silver Bandit, in 1950.
