Summary

During World War II, a small plane somewhere over the Caribbean runs low on fuel and is blown off course by a storm. Guided by a faint radio signal, they crash-land on an island. The passenger, his manservant and the pilot take refuge in a mansion owned by a doctor. The quick-witted yet easily-frightened manservant soon becomes convinced the mansion is haunted by zombies and ghosts.

Now here's an useful fact next time you're playing a game of Trivial Pursuits. Did you know that if a zombie eats salt, then it dies again? Something I learned in this tale of a scientist who lures planes to his remote island where he uses voodoo and zombies to gather intelligence for his government during WWII. A who's who of the cast led by Dick Purcell and Joan Woodbury would be really quite superfluous to this rather daft story; except, that is, for Mantan Moreland - their servant "Jeff", who has all the best lines and plenty of charm as they plod along towards the film's obvious, extremely low budget, conclusion.
