Boles is the man entrusted with the message, seeking Garcia somewhere in the tropical interior of Cuba. Aided by Beery, a clownish renegade, he sets off into the dangerous jungles until they meet Barbara Stanwyck, who offers to lead them to Garcia. The hardships, the perils and adventures these three share together in the jungle, take up the major portion of the Finally Miss Stanwyck is wounded in an encounter and Boles, although he has learned to love her, presses ahead in performance of his duty. When Beery inadvertently leads Boles into the trap of Hale, a villainous spy, the roistering climax of the picture is contrived, with Beery leading Garcia’s forces to his friend’s rescue, bringing the lovers together and the picture to its happy close.
