The Narrow Corner (1933)

In an intriguing labyrinth of circumstances, Fred (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.), an Englishman on the run for a murder charge, finds himself aboard a fishing boat navigating the mystic South Seas. The boat is commanded by Nichols (Arthur Nohl), a man grappling with a stomach disorder, and attended to by a ship's doctor (Sidney Toler), whose presence is as enigmatic as the ocean itself. In a serendipitous encounter, Fred, swimming in the nude off the shore, crosses paths with the beautifully attired Louise (Patricia Ellis). She presents a captivating contrast to the wilderness of the exotic island that serves as their backdrop. Louise's friendly nature and Fred’s charm kindle a spark that transcends their unusual meeting. Louise's life on the island is far from ordinary. She resides with her grandfather and father, the owners of a government plantation managed by her fiancé, Eric (Ralph Bellamy). As the tendrils of romance start to weave Fred and Louise together, the serene island life trembles on the brink of upheaval. The ensuing conflict between Fred and Eric is as inevitable as the tides. With a dark past trailing his footsteps, Fred finds himself caught between love, rivalry, and the specter of his murder charge. As history seems poised to repeat itself, Fred must navigate the narrow corner of his fate. Will he keep moving, or will he fight for the unexpected love he's found in this far-flung corner of the world?
