"IT'S FUN TO BE BROKE- Down where life is a laugh and love is a gift."

May 1 1942 Approved 1h 31m
Adventure, Comedy, Romance

After a long absense from the island, Chester Tuttle returns to Tahiti to find that little has changed. His large family, particularly his scheming Uncle Jonas, would rather dance and romance than earn a living. When Jonas loses the family plantation in a cockfight, Chester saves the day by towing in a large ship abandoned at sea and claiming the salvage. But opening a joint bank account in the name of the Tuttle clan may not have been a wise decision.
