Steve Case has to deal with trouble at his tropical fruit company's Central American banana plantation. A revolutionary, Rosario La Mata, is stirring up unrest among the workers, and the only man who can handle the situation, foreman Nick Butler, has just quit. Steve manages to persuade Nick to stick around (for a big bonus). Adding to the complications is Lee Donley, a woman whom Steve has ordered out of the region for causing a different kind of trouble among the men.
