Down Among the Sheltering Palms

The movie is set on an island where a group of soldiers, led by Captain Willoby, are stationed as an occupation force. The island is inhabited by beautiful women, and the soldiers are under strict orders not to form any romantic relationships with them.

Captain Willoby and his men are stationed on remote Midi Island after World War II, where they face a new kind of challenge: resisting the charms of the island's friendly women. Despite their frustration at not being able to return home, the men are torn between their duty and their attraction to the island's beautiful inhabitants, including Rozouila, who has been presented to Willoby as his "wife." Complicating matters are the arrival of a journalist and a missionary's niece, who add to the temptation and tension.
