$9,000 9300 $48 that's a lot of money banned on junk junk you may be old pal

but none of these people got old dr/dt

Lola Pia ro Rodney long have you been hurt a little Troy this is my mate Chris

Parker how do you do our most prime minister Morita I regret captain you must return this cargo to

the merchant service empty but why it's which award beats calico brooches gramophones it

must go back to me but why because I said so [Music]

I suggest you keep the strache aboard your ship and sail for Tahiti at once I

remove take me to see her I am The Queen [Music]

Gartner McKay in James a misters adventures in Paradise will die

Stockwell as Chris Parker and James Holden and say Baker Jetstar's

Amara Surratt John Fiedler

and sorry Carter McKay as Adam Troy [Music]

the queen since when it is long since you were here Adam Troy her mother the old queen died three

years ago well I'm very sorry to hear that what's that got to do with this I mean

you ordered this cargo didn't you I did but now there is no money to pay for it

why not it is a sad tale come we will drink and

talk perhaps the taste of the kava will cooled your anger

[Music]

the truth friend Adam is often as bitter as the waters of the sea Papa please my

child captain Troy is our guest in his presence you will pay him the respect of

speaking his language yes Father your missionaries have taught our young

people to speak English sometimes they prefer the old ways often the best ways

spoken as our friend thank you we will eat later Danny yes Father

now Harmon as I heard the story in Tahiti a plane crashed about a year ago

to considerable damage planes insurance company are agreed to make a settlement that is correct well isn't there any

money no I sent the insurance men to deal with our queen who was then at a university in the States

oh I see Victoria that is our Queens name agreed to settle for $10,000 when

we heard this each of us ordered goods for his share things we cannot make here

mirrors cloth and the like now we cannot

have them why no it's your shirts your money our queen spent it on what

machinery it arrived three days ago by freighter many boxes of equipment she

desires to build a fish cannery a fish cannery here on Mareva it is a first

step calls a plan for industrial progress she's gotta be joking

she is most serious she had the professor from the University who came back with her professor what

how do you people feel about all this we were not asked I attempted to tell

Victoria that the way of life she envisions is bad for our people but I

was silenced Armel how were you I'd take her over

your knee and spank some common sense into her she is my queen

well she's not mine do you have the

figures projecting the tonnage on the psychical basis professor yes here they are Victoria yes these look very

promising we ought to be able to undercut any competition we can't fail these prove the theories I've expanded

to you through four years of economics Victoria the most important element in any industrial project is the cost

factor what about the happiness factor I rather

expected you mr. Troy I've heard of your flair for the romantic what's wrong

mannequin realizing Marie is not meant to be a Pittsburgh please spare us your view and mer Eva's the last remaining

island paradise in the South Pacific might very well be there why can't you

two leave well enough alone well enough isn't good enough this is a 20th century

and freedom is on the March and in this world true freedom can only be achieved through industrial

self-sufficiency freedom huh do you know I haven't seen anybody in change since I

got here my time is limited mr. Troy the

interview is closed

I'm afraid captain there are a few things that you don't understand Viki the professor yes the industrial plant

hogs a name Henry hold what we accomplish here captain will not only

benefit ma Riva but will serve as a guide for other backward areas I have already begun a report it will be known

as the hope report and I intend to submit it to the appropriate subcommittee of the United Nations it'll

knock them dead especially if you include your blunders blunders you

intend to put your cannery in an abandoned US Army warehouse at the north end of the island right well that's

correct it saves construction costs good these boxes contain the machinery for the campaign

well they do how do you expect to get those boxes over the mountains to the

north end of the island on the backs of the natives or something or didn't you know that the only roads on this island

are jungle pathways well it won't take

long to build the road your people are

charming wonderful tea but they weren't meant to work in a factory why don't you

just ask your prime minister for advice I think I can speak for my people they have a right to vitality an

accomplishment to participate in the march of progress whether they like it

or not sometimes progress must be imposed for the future good of all you

come back here in five years captain I'm sure you'll be astounded at the difference good on I'll mark that on my

calendar [Music]

you are leaving my friend there's nothing else to do I came to ask your

forgiveness there's nothing to forgive it certainly wasn't beautiful I placed the order for the cargo I'll just return

it to the merchants in Tahiti what of your time we have no money to pay you for the shipping um I'll chalk it up to

experience please take these small

pearls out of me they will help to repay No thank you Tony

I think you're very honorable man I wish there was something I could do for you a

few people perhaps there is it occurs to me that perhaps our queen is ashamed of

her heritage now that she has seen the world I wouldn't put it past her what are you getting at you could make her

see her mistake if you were to delay your departure you can deal with her as an equal no no thanks I probably do what

I told you to do put her over my knee and spank her where's the mayhem friend cannot be inflicted it must be

cultivated I haven't got the time anyway I don't think your queen is a very

willing pupil that is only because she is constantly in the shadow of Professor Hogue his charge his grafts his theories

try it from that victorious heart is good she will rule wisely one day she

has been away from her Island and her people too long you really know her well

don't you I also know something of the world she visited as a young man I was to your city of San Francisco remind her

that the cool caress of the trade winds can be as bigger rating as a hot breath of competition that the natural kindly

miss of a simple people is not a thing of shame world of sophistication this knowledge

is part of the heritage of our queen a heritage she seems to have forgotten I

think you had him try could make her remember Tom she's a walking textbook

she is also a woman this evening tread madam we shall have a luau and your

honor perhaps in its relaxed atmosphere you will find the opportunity to make a

remember anything you are wonderful

you have a beginning but you're really one thank you I guess so yes I suppose

so you are find her exciting well she's

one of the most promising students I've ever had you find her interesting as a

woman I'm interested in a report to the

United Nations that may not get beyond the first paragraph if that troy fellow has his way women as such

women shouldn't boy him dance no no

why don't we go somewhere where we can talk

[Music]

I thought you brought me down here to talk that did but it isn't easy

[Music] what I call your queen just plain your

majesty come here Oh Vicki I I think you very nice

Oh why he rented him let's sit down and talk about this [Music]

it's beautiful [Music]

great big important thoughts Adam oh yeah great big important thoughts like by being wrong about a girl I was

sure was only thinking of herself meaning me no names great big important thoughts

with you mm-hmm like how wrong I was today about what

wanting my people to carry the cannery equipment on a VAX well of course it is

when you can transport everything to the North Shore for me aboard the Tiki I could what charter the Tiki to me you do

carry cargo though yes I carry cargo is that what we came down here good night your majesty

majesty you know me since you were so high remember the day you ate the green

coconut and I had to pick name Popeye do

you know anything about machines no your majesty electricity what's that your majesty

do you have any special knowledge to fire something that would be useful for our cannery oh yes your majesty

I make good hooks from shells my hooks catch many fish for maybe five in day

road-building you start tomorrow morning

next troyzan what Adam Troy look I don't know

anything about fish canneries but I do have a ship for charter oh I understood that you didn't that you had very little

enthusiasm for a project I don't have any yet so my rates are payable in

advance with no stock in your organization instead of payment all right hundred dollars a day after I wipe that

necessary that's some pretty bad reefs up there I could this man ship how long will it take you to do this

exploring well that happened then we could take my dinghy yes or no yes first

thing tomorrow morning your majesty with all due respect time is money I've already lost my

shipping hey the sooner I get back to Tahiti the better I can't talk you that any objection to my going along none at

all profession they're delighted to have you oh well I'll have to come back tomorrow

I'll tell them that wouldn't be very polite right yeah when you think you assemble these

men to end or even for job assignments and them away and they'll be hurt it's a

violation of the code of aura II know that's too bad no wait the captain's run their feelings

are easily hurt why don't you stay and complete the interview all right you

know something I don't recall any code of honor oh really well have been away a long

time haven't you let's go [Music]

we'll build the dock over there and the road through those truth oh yeah that's

a beautiful spot seems a pity to change it you mean improve it in five years every trawler in the Pacific will know this

Cove [Music]

by something yeah evidently some of our young people have been using the scope

it's a lover's lane do you know that that's called the courting spear I

thought you knew so much about ominous well a lot of violence a young man cut

his own special design on this in places it outside of girls had it not if the girl recognizes the design and wishes to

know the man better she pulls the spear into the house it's a foolish primitive frosting but I think it's a beautiful

festive [Music]

let's make a run for it

[Music]

[Music]

voila rotten luck tropical rainstorm refreshes everything the papers on my

desk they're up to my chin now I have to get back this afternoon not a chance the weather forecast said

it would last oh oh you know the storms

coming you've heard it on your ship's radio well in a way but I so that's why you insisted on coming here to play you had

it easy Vicki oh I've met your kind back mistakes the car runs out of gas and

then there's a convenient little love now the poor lamebrain girl is expected to know take it easy

you lured me here you two bucks off Casanova believe me I just wanted to talk to you

alone without professor Hogg hanging around selling his bill of goods now

you're not going out in that snore watch me

[Music]

well don't sound too g*y be shut the door you're all what thanks to you listen my

tensions are oh I just wanted to get you away from my professor I likely story

I can start a fire listen yes Oh what else did you include in that bag

of tricks enough food for overnight I don't get out of wet things and into a dry martini is that's the way the joke I

had no idea you were so sophisticated I suppose you prefer the stereotype version grass skirt flower behind the

ear incomplete subservience demand whistle ooh look into the fire started

and dry clothes you do remember how to wine to pair you don't you I'm not

getting into that listen to it take a choice it can't despair you or pneumonia

[Music]

just a do for the top

[Music]

dinner's ready you never look lovelier

your majesty horny Alfie sit down

nothing good but it's hot as a port

yeah [Music]

all right you said you wanted to talk what's on your mind well it's about your politics you know I

think you preach democracy and practice dictatorship that's a lie

what have you asked your people are they feel about this heavy industry scheme of yours I can't they don't want the cannery I

know that dictator you're just gonna go ahead without even considering their feelings yes Adam they can't see beyond

tomorrow they're completely out of the mainstream of life I'll putting them in a cannery isn't gonna help then what is thinking of

their feelings of their heritage of their needs and what if all they want to

do is to stagnate now that's when a professor hopes works relativist textbooks stagnate what does he know

about their love of freedom you should

you're their queen you make me sound like it worry I think you're just

misguided out of touch you know eight years in civilization can

ruin anyone

any suggestions yeah you forget all

about hoax theories dr. Harlan the elders you'd be surprised at their ways and just get to know your people again I

I think we'd better try and get some sleep I'll take you back

[Music]

good night out good night [Music]

morning you would like this breakfast I'm not hungry

I've got too much on my mind tell me look at these plans every detail

of the project months of hard work my whole future everyone will know a few I

will be proud well yes if all doesn't go to waste

oh wait could very easily if your Queen begins to act like a woman instead of a trained social scientist tiny does not

understand well where has she been all night and all yesterday alone with Troy Neil

Charmin tell her the cannery is wrong and she'll believe him you do not know

women victory will not be fooled our woman can see through a man who's been

paid to pretend to love her paid by whom

my father gave the captain pearls well

how interesting now happiness come back now happiness

morning Henry morning Victoria I say lovely very now where shall I set them

I've been waiting for you now they're supposed to start work this morning we have to decide what job comes

first Victoria you weren't listening to me of course I am the man is supposed to

start work I can see the captain Troy has driven every meaningful idea out of

your head that's not true Henry we've misjudged him have we this is sincere intelligent man where's

the best interests of the people at heart who oh I'm sure of that you needn't be sarcastic what he says

makes good sense Victoria are you trying to tell me that you're ready to abandon the Kari I didn't say that but I don't

think we oughtta plunge forward pal now I want to have a talk first with Harlan some of the elders so he did get to you

you're a little fool Henry you're a terrible judge of character you walk in

here like a love-struck schoolgirl ready to scrap everything because of a conniving gigolo now wake up get that

star dust out of your eyes you have no right to talk to me like that oh yes I do Tory was hired to make love to me it's

not true it is true Troy got a bag of pearls for his trouble and you don't

have to take my word for it you can ask the man who died your romantic captain who is Harmon I want the truth Harley

did you grab him to be nice to me I asked for help I gave no specification did you pay him

as for me I'm your queen a gift my child

then you did do it I feel imperfect girls nothing more

I am sorry Victoria was the cheap trick madam trial stop at nothing to destroy

our project I love Vicky don't talk to me we are going to build a road over the

mountains professor our people will carry the machinery on their backs we are going to build our cannery every

benefit ourselves have the men assemble in one hour and start work immediately Vicky Vicky listen to me I don't know

what you're doing now they've been a dozen attempts to throw these fish canneries in this area it always seems

like the logical thing to do it it always fails we won't yes you will Marina is hundreds

of miles from where the tuna is found in commercial quantities let me go your

people weren't meant to be factory workers and another thing the prevailing winds of Mareva from the north the dead

fish will have your pretty village smelling like a garbage dump let me go gigolo

while we tried captain Troy your people really don't want this can do they know

that we'll keep trying [Music]

[Music] told them to be ready with your tools in

one hour well not stop Wanaka don't worry buddy

from captain Torrey we can't be sure that well I can all at the able-bodied

men of the Islander sick but none of the women

I feel better your majesty I'm worried

Victoria why try slow scheme is falling

flat on its face but there will be other little schemes delays slowdowns or even

a strike perhaps then just don't want to work you can't force them every inch of

the way no professor I can't but I won't have to you have a plan

indeed I do [Music]

what you saying that whole women should have system beautiful things no she says

husband's in America forced to work their wives gonna have nice things

this is teller man should be forced to build the Camry so their wives can have

nice things

saved the wife of top on he says she never forced her husband he is stronger

he would beat her sounds like a sense of a woman thank the Queen says the women

have a will stronger than the muscles of their moment what's happening she has

advised the women to live in the open not in the compound to be away from

their husbands entirely let's force them to build a fish fact

[Applause]

it's Lysistrata lettuce Trotter yeah an

old Greek way in which the women rebel against their husbands is this what is

taught in your universities in the play it stopped a w*r on marina it's gonna

start one [Music]

planning to use the wreck force just let him try Victoria if we don't get started soon we'll be stopped completely by the

rainy season I'll worry about that later I will not speak to that man well I'll

take care of him [Music]

Vickey even to see if we get a range of truth I'm not interested please be reasonable

purchases it has been arranged I don't get it those were Adams orders

documents

to get the better of me is that it captain well I hope it's worth it to you because it's going to cost you $10,000 I'll get

my money back you see I believe in your people they'll pay me off in copra may

take some time but they'll do it no they won't Connie yes your majesty go to Harlan

tell him to load the cannery equipment aboard the Tiki captain Troy can sell it to pay for the cargo here given our

people Victoria you can't tiny do as I say Victoria why why for the reasons

captain Troy was fully aware of I won't have my people in debt to anyone but

it's not your responsibility if Troy made the cargo to the people if they accepted it of course it is Henry I'm

their queen you knew what you'd be 14 to

pleases me thank you

concerned you still are clean [Music]

I have told our people you would leave us this they do not want more than

anything we wish you'd stay with us the rest of the things are being repacked

well I don't understand captain Troy has agreed to take all this when we turn the machinery to us so you want today but

we'll make you happy we will do we will build the efficient factory we'd love

your Victoria
