Yvonne DeCarlo is top billed in this tale of the South Seas, but the title role of
Hurricane Smith is played by John Ireland who is a pirate who when we first meet
him is temporarily beached on an island thereof with his two companions
Forrest Tucker and Richard Arlen.
Not to fear because slave trader Emile Meyer has anchored looking for natives to catch and sell. So while Meyer is on the hunt our intrepid trio steal his ship.
Ireland has a pirate treasure buried on one of these tropical islands and he along with Meyer and phony scientist James Craig with south sea princess DeCarlo in tow are all searching for it. One guess as to winds up with it.
Some nice color cinematography from that first master of color movies Ray Rennahan is a hallmark of Hurricane Smith.
The other is a cast where just about everyone has essayed some kind of screen villainy more than once in their roles. Makes for interesting viewing in terms of identifying the good and bad guys.
Hurricane Smith is an enjoyable potboiler that won't tax the gray cells too hard.
