The picture shows Martin Johnson arriving at the island, his reception by the fearsome savages, how he accompanies them inland to one of their villages, and the strange rites and ceremonies that he was permitted to witness, always in danger, and yet never afraid. The picture has several outstanding incidents. The native dances are weird, but nothing compares to the shots that show the natives proudly displaying their trophies of human heads. The monkey men fascinate because they show how closely the lower forms of civilization resemble the apes. Also there are scenes taken among the pigmies, beautiful scenery, shark fishing and excellent views of a volcano in eruption.

Brenda, Ellen e Sue, tre turiste americane in "gita di piacere" ad Haiti sul finire degli anni '70. Approdate a quella spiaggia da un passato confessato in prima persona alla macchina da presa, per quel passato cercano conforto tra le braccia di quello che oggi viene definito jinetero (il cavalcatore), una sorta di gigolo dei carabi. Una consolazione effimera, la loro, comprata da chi ha "fame" di venderla. Il sud di Brenda ed Ellen è incarnato da Legba, un giovane uomo color ebano che guadagna "cibo e sicurezza" smerciando "desiderio e amore". Legba è capace e ha stile e i suoi guadagni gli permettono di mantenere se stesso e la vecchia madre. Entrambe invaghite fino a pensare di condurlo via con loro, le donne arriveranno a un feroce scontro finale incapaci di riconoscere la vacuità del loro sogno sessuale.
