The Poisoned Darts Filming Locations

A shipwrecked crew, consisting of an officer and several men, find themselves on an island in the East Indies. After consuming the scant stores saved from the ship, they resolve to venture inland, following a path through the tropical forest. Already a mutinous spirit against the officer has developed, and this culminates when, one of the crew having surprised and seized a native girl, the officer releases the girl and sends her on her way. In anger the men next morning lay hold of the officer and bind him to a tree. On the principle that dead men tell no tales it is resolved to kill him, and lots are drawn to determine who shall commit the deed. One man is chosen, and is in the act of raising the officer's pistol to shoot him when a poisoned dart from the jungle ends the man's life. The officer's bonds are at the same time severed by a knife, a dusky figure showing dimly through the bushes behind the tree and unseen by the captive. Wondering at his release, but thankful to be free, the officer follows his men and, amid the general dread inspired by the poisoned dart, once more takes command. The survivors struggle on through the forest, but one by one, as they menace or ill use the officer, the men fall victims to poisoned darts mysteriously shot from the jungle. At last the officer is alone, and, utterly wearied, he falls asleep under a tree. On awakening he finds fruits, cakes and water by his side. Then he realizes that, because he saved the girl, the unseen natives are saving and succoring him. Eventually they appear, invite him to their village, and nurse him through a fever. News is brought of a ship in sight, and the castaway is carried to the beach by his faithful native friends, and rescued by the passing vessel.
