A campy 1950s creature-feature that treats voodoo and tropical exotica as spectacle, blending genuine supernatural menace with B-movie sensationalism and period-specific colonial attitudes.

A wealthy industrialist hires the renowned hoax-buster Phillip Knight to prove that an island he plans to develop isn't voodoo cursed. However, arriving on the island, Knight soon realizes that voodoo does exist when he discovers man-eating plants and a tribe of natives with bizarre powers.
