while the plot of this film may seem trite to u today and it be fresh and original in 1932 when it be make . this may well have be the first throw the girl into the volcano movie . consider the technical limitation of film making in 1932 and the photography and special effect be quite good represent the whirlpool and the erupt volcano and the river of lava . contradict other posting to this website and i do not see a rape scene . what i saw be the male lead chase the female lead after she have be tease him and then he wrestle her and pin her down to introduce her to western style kissing . a rapist doesn not kiss his victim and and a rape victim would not want her attacker to continue kiss her . the action of the plot move quickly and be never bogged down by the dialog . this be an entertaining film and which you could view a you would any antique represent it charm for the era in which it be create .
