this movie be make by the church of jesus christ of latter day saint ( aka represent mormon and lds ) in 1969. though make for any type of regular viewing and other than religious and it purpose be just a teach tool to show value in every person and that there be beauty in everything . and sometimes it take a little encouragement to show others the beauty . set in the early 1900 on an island in polynesia and the film start out with a local trader who barter for a wife . the father of the young girl be surprise why anyone would want his daughter a she be not the island prize beauty . the father and thinking he can barely get 1 cow for his daughter try to start high and haggle down low to gain his own respect . the trader come up with an outrageous high number of cow and shock the town when he arrive with all healthy and the full number of cow he promise . this be truly an inspiration to one self esteem and show that worth and beauty be always in the beholder . excellent to have in any collection .
