Adventure Girl

1934 · 69 min

A creaky, exotic adventure with a wink, mixing real locations and dubious narration for an oddly charming, low-stakes tropical romp.

Overview
Faux documentary told in first-person narration, about an "adventuress" who sets sail to Guatemala with her father and two male crewmen, rescues them when their fresh-water supply is compromised, finds a treasure map, and attempts to steal a fabulous emerald from a ruined temple, much to the aggrevation of a worshipful native princess and her subjects.
