Four Frightened People

The film tells the story of two men (Marshall and Gargan) and two women (Colbert and Boland), who leave from a bubonic plague-ridden ship and reach the British Malaya jungle. The relationships between the four people before they enter the jungle are examined and are transformed as they interact with natural phenomena and the natives who populate the jungle. The film also relates how each of the four people carried on in life after they emerged from the jungle.
