Picture Brides
Expatriate miners in South America arrange for a riverboat full of blonde mail-order brides to arrive at their village. A lecherous German mine owner wants one of them and a teenage native girl for himself--and won't take no for an answer. Four "Picture Brides" from New Orleans arrive in the Brazilian jungle on a riverboat, brought there to marry workers at Lottagrasso, a remote mining site of the Standard Diamond Mines. On the same boat with the "mail-order" brides (Americans Mame Smith and Flo Lane, and Gwen from England and Lena from Europe) is Mary Lee, an innocent, frightened girl who has come to see the mine's brutal supervisor, von Luden, about a job. Knowing von Luden's inhuman reputation, Mame transfers the photo assigning her to Dave Hart to Mary's identification card. Castro, the mail-runner, delivers a letter to von Luden informing him that his partner Hart is wanted in the United States on an embezzlement charge. To protect Mary, Mame presents herself as the job applicant while Mary is introduced to Dave and his fellow supervisors--Peter, Joe, and Bill--as a bride applicant. Dave rescues Mary from a lustful, brutish attack by von Luden. Pretty Mataeo Rogers, half-breed daughter of the camp's drunken doctor, is celebrating her 18th birthday and is lured to von Luden's jungle castle. Later, natives find her body in the swamp. Detectives Steve and Al arrive to extradite Dave. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net> Two guys on the run from the law in the US take off for the jungles of Brazil, where they go to work in a diamond mine. While there they "order" two mail-order brides. When the young women get to their destination, they find things very different from what they imagined or expected. —frankfob2@yahoo.com
