Rhythm of the Islands is set in the South Seas, presumably far away from the shooting war. The nonsensical plotline finds hero Tommy (Allan Jones) posing as a native chief. Joan Holton (Jane Frazee), daughter of a millionaire (Ernest Truex), falls in love with Tommy, unaware that he's a charlatan.

Plot

On the only Pacific island untouched by and unaware of World-War-Two, American beachcombers Tommy (Allan Jones) and Eddie Dolan (Andy Devine) sell off Paradise Island to American millionaire Holton (Ernest Truex) who has a daughter, Joan (Jane Frazee), ready to fall in love with Tommy. None of this sets too well with the island natives.
