Nurse Nellie Forbush  of the U.S. Navy falls for middle-aged French plantation owner Emile De Becque , but finds it difficult to accept that he's fathered two half polynesian children. 

When Nellie leaves him, the heartbroken Emile agrees to take on a dangerous espionage mission. In his absence, Nellie struggles to reconcile her prejudices with her love for him -- and after she spends time with his children and comes to care for them, fears that Emile may not return alive.
