Summary

Pathe synopsis: A bachelor’s dream of paradise is the beautiful island of Grand Cayman in the West Indies. It has sea, sand, sun and is better known as the Island of Women - and there’s no income tax. There are some men on the island, but most have taken better-paid jobs elsewhere until they have saved enough to return and buy a home. Meanwhile the women wait and look after the island’s two main industries - the tourist trade and rope-making.
