"Just wait until you see the zombies!"
1940 and a light aircraft is blown off course in a storm, ditching on an unknown Caribbean island. The two passengers, Bill (John Archer) and his servant Jefferson (Mantan Moreland), along with the pilot Mac (Dick Purcell), take refuge in the house of Dr Sangre (Henry Victor). But Jefferson isn't happy and is convinced the Dr isn't on the level, especially when he finds out about the zombies!
Apart from suffering from some dated and unpc material, this has some genuinely funny lines, giving the black comedian, Mantan Moreland, the chance to steal the show in this otherwise run of the mill comedy. Something that never happened in American films of the time.
