The Tuttles of Tahiti

When merchant sailor Chester Tuttle (Jon Hall (actor)) returns home to Tahiti after several years away, his family, headed by Jonas Tuttle (Charles Laughton), welcomes him with open arms. The Tuttles are a happy-go-lucky bunch who give little thought to the future and do as little work as necessary. Jonas often gets loans, which he never gets around to paying back, from Dr. Blondin (Victor Francen). Chester has brought with him a fighting cocks for Jonas's Cockfighting with the more industrious and prosperous Emily (Florence Bates).
