Plot Summary

Conditions are spartan on Dennis Carson's Indochina rubber plantation during a dusty dry monsoon. The latest boat upriver brings Carson an unwelcome guest: Vantine, a floozy from Saigon, hoping to evade the police by a stay upcountry. But Carson, initially uninterested, soon succumbs to Vantine's ostentatious charms...until the arrival of surveyor Gary Willis, ill with malaria, and his refined but sensuous wife Barbara. Now the rains begin, and passion flows like water... Written by Rod Crawford

Quotes Barbara Willis: [watching the workers pouring liquid rubber] Why, it's milk.
Dennis Carson: Oh no, just rubber. But you could drink it if you care to stretch a point.
Barbara Willis: Oh, I once knew a man who made a joke like that. He was run over by a truck.
Dennis Carson: Were you driving it?
Barbara Willis: Yes!
Dennis Carson: Well, you're out of luck here. We only have ox-carts and every ox knows me personally.
