You must help me, Mr. Blackstone.
Well, what's the trouble?
The kahuna.
The kahuna is ruining my business.
I cannot give natives to work on my plantation.
What's a kahuna?
The kahuna has power to call forth the gods...
to create earthquakes and floods.
Oh, come now, you can't believe that.
I am island-born, Miss Brent.
We of the islands know that many strange things have happened in the name of the native gods.
But it's unbelievable that an intelligent, well-educated man could believe... Well, that I believe in the kahuna is unimportant, but I must have natives to work my plantation.
I have never seen her.
But my natives tell me that she holds ceremonies every night on the far headland over yonder.
Yes, that is a place that has long been sacred to our native gods.
Anything I can tell you.
She wants them to migrate from this island to another.
She wants this place to be given back to the gods.
If the kahuna is not stopped, soon all will leave.
Not much farther.
