Au XIX siècle dans le Pacifique Sud, la coutume veut que les hommes d'une des îles fassent un raid dans une île voisine pour y chercher des femmes. Lors d'un de ces raids, Taro aperçoit la belle Lilleo et demande au chef de la tribu la permission de l'emmener. Pendant que Taro et les autres hommes regardent les femmes nager dans un étang, des hommes armés de lances les attaquent et les forcent à fuir. Taro, toutefois, est laissé en arrière et après avoir lutté avec Lilleo qui ne veut pas venir avec lui, il arrive à l'emmener sur son île. À son arrivée, Taro présente Lilleo à sa mère et à son clan.Actors
