- A look at the South Seas Island near Tahiti inhabited by relatives of the crew of mutineers from the schooner "The Bounty." Released to arouse interest in the forthcoming feature Mutiny on the Bounty (1935).
- Pitcairn Island is arguably most renowned as the place Fletcher Christian, his fellow mutineers of the HMS Bounty in 1787, and the dozen Tahitians who threw their lot in with these Englishmen went to hide from what would have otherwise been Christian and the other Englishmen's capture and subsequent sentence to death. Then, Pitcairn was a deserted and desolate island protected from the outside world by a coral reef. Today, most of the inhabitants of Pitcairn are descendants of those original settlers, with life much as it was then. Many of today's islanders are presented and their tie to the original settlers and the Bounty described. Despite choosing this life of isolation, islanders must sometimes make contact with the outside world, which is still not easy.—Huggo
- This visit to Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific Ocean shows that life for the residents has changed little in the years since Fletcher Christian and his fellow mutineers on HMS Bounty, along with several Tahitian natives, landed here. The island is self-sufficient and has few visitors. Among the islanders we see at work is Fletcher Christian's great-grandson.—David Glagovsky <dglagovsky@prodigy.net>
