What happens
The Blonde Captive is a 1931 pre-Code film directed by Clinton Childs, Ralph P. King, Linus J. Wilson, and Paul Withington. The film took previously released anthropological footage of native peoples in the Pacific and Australia, and added a sensationalized storyline. After its 1947 re-screening the film went missing. A full print of the film was later discovered and made commercially available on DVD in 2010. It is also viewable online on YouTube. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
