- South Seas captain David Grief lives a life of danger and excitement as he and his friends face a new adventure every day.
- Welcome to the Tales of the South Seas guide at TV Tome. Adventure series set in The South Pacific Islands circa 1910. David Grief and Mauriri, his business partner, encounter numerous adventures in the islands as they charter their boat; the Rattler - sometimes to dubious characters. While the towns in the South Seas are effectively controlled by the French colonial presence, the outer islands (some still to be discovered) are an adventure - everything from headhunters, zealot missionaries to American gunslingers. A feature of the series is that the principal, David, whilst a force for moral good in his general intentions, is not someone who lets a good business opportunity go by. This often brings him into conflict with his friends and associates. The relationships in the series are more complex than in normal "pulp" type series: who does David love? How will the lead characters cope with the conflict between native tradition and modern "white" ways?
- Filmed on Queensland's Whitsunday Coast, Tales of the South Seas is based on the classic stories by Jack London. The series is an epic adventure series that sets sail at the turn of the century and follows the dangerous adventures of the rugged yet charismatic David Grief, and his Polynesian friend and partner, Mauriri as they encounter the exotic world that lies within the Pacific South Sea Islands.
