[edit] Plot
Set on a small tropical island, Father Doonan (Tracy), has been relieved of his duties by Father Perreau (Kerwin Matthews). Meanwhile, three convicts (Sinatra, Bernie Hamilton and Gregoire Aslan), enroute to Tahiti, make an unexpected stop on the island and they are put to work at a children's leper hospital. All is seemingly normal, until the island's volcano begins to erupt and the Governor (Alexander Scourby) orders an evacuation. But, the convicts, priests and leper children are located at the top of the island and have no sure way to escape to safety. All must work together if any are to survive.
