ISLAND OF LOST WOMEN

Mark Bradley is a radio commentator whose pilot, Joe Walker, is flying him across the South Pacific to a conference in Australia.

Engine trouble develops, and Walker must make a forced landing on the beach of a small, uncharted island inhabited by Dr. Paul Lujan and his three naive daughters, who have never known any man except their father.

Lujan, unfriendly to the point of hostility, orders the intruders to leave his island, but one of their aircraft's two engines is too badly damaged for them to be able to comply without first making repairs. He grants them a couple days in order to do so. In the meantime he grudgingly introduces Bradley and Walker to his trio of young, beautiful daughters, Venus, Urana, and Mercuria. The two men soon learn that Dr. Lujan was an atomic scientist who fled the civilized world with his family because he fears the havoc being caused by the discovery of nuclear energy.

To the doctor's disapproval, his two older daughters easily fall in love with the two attractive strangers and try to help them, while the third, 16 and jealous of her sisters, tries to foil their plans. This forces them to make a choice between staying on the island with their father or returning with the two men to a civilization they have only experienced via short wave radio broadcasts. When Bradley mentions that he plans on doing a radio broadcast about Lujan and his island location after he returns to civilization, the doctor begins to scheme a way to keep the men and his daughters on the island.

Bradley reveals his intention to report on Lujan and the island, leading Dr. Lujan to scheme to keep the men and his daughters on the island rather than letting them leave.

The ending pivots on the clash between isolation and exposure, with Dr. Lujan's fear of the outside world motivating desperate actions to preserve his family's seclusion. The daughters are caught between loyalty to their father and curiosity about the world beyond, while the outsiders represent both rescue and disruption. This resolution underscores the film's Cold War-era anxieties about technology, secrecy, and the cost of attempting to escape the modern world.
