Tempting Tahitian Mimi Bennett (Esther Williams) had her fill of island life, and was looking forward to making it in her dad's American homeland.

Sun-splashed charmer co-stars Rita Moreno, Minna Gombell, Charles Mauu; score includes "The House of Singing Bamboo," "Why Is Love So Crazy?," and the title tune.
