Synopsis
In 1821, British settler Phillip Wayne (Jack Hawkins) and assistant Paddy Clarke (Noel Purcell) arrive in New Zealand. While scouting, the pair accidentally enters an area sacred to the native Maori people, but Phillip's courage wins them over, sparing the duo from death. Phillip then heads home and convinces his fiancée, Marion (Glynis Johns), to start a new life with him in New Zealand. Upon their return, Phillip introduces the Maori to Christianity while falling for the tribe leader's wife.
