SYNOPSIS
Two island lovers--both of opposing religions--fall in love and flee to a remote island. Warriors from the girl's tribe put to sea in an effort to track them down. Trouble soon follows.

On an island in the Philippines, Kapura, the daughter of the Sultan of Sulu, loves Arsan, a tribesman who has embraced Christianity and has thereby earned the hatred of his group.
