When graceful beauty Margaret Hastings, along with 23 other passengers, boarded the C-47 transport plane, she expected to experience an exhilarating flight over the mountainous jungles of New Guinea and, if she was lucky, to see through the window a primitive tribe of natives who, rumored to have been cannibals. A few hours later, together with two male survivors of a terrible plane crash, she had to make a difficult decision: stay near the wreckage of the plane, realizing that in the mountains they would hardly be visible from the sky, or go through the jungle to a valley inhabited by islanders who had never seen before white men. And white women.
