I am only voting because IMDb demands it . This short movie is jaw-droppingly naive, so much so that it is almost essential viewing for would-be movie-makers today. An entire group of people are moved from their island home so that the kindly USA can drop an atom bomb on the island( in order to benefit the cause of peace on earth and to test the effects of fallout on the flora and fauna). Jungle Jim has a plan to persuade the islanders to the mainland and is left to do, with the assistance of a female doctor, by the government agents.

The bomb will be dropped and the natives can move back in " within a few days" . They are even aero dusted with contaminated dust by the bad guys to make them a bit sick at one point.

Just try reading , for example: Green-Peace in the role of the opposition. Some of the detail and casting is a wonder as well. I loved the sexy dancers in the village !
