What happens

Ebb Tide is a 1937 American Technicolor adventure film directed by James P. Hogan and starring Oscar Homolka, Frances Farmer and Ray Milland. Much of the film is set in the South Seas and is based on the 1894 novel The Ebb-Tide by Robert Louis Stevenson and his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. The novel was previously filmed as 1922 Paramount silent film Ebb Tide, and it was filmed again in 1947 as Adventure Island, produced by William H. Pine and William C. Thomas.
