Torrid Zone

Trouble is brewing at a Central American banana plantation. Led by revolutionary Rosario La Mata (George Tobias), the workers are becoming restless. In the past, plantation foreman Nick Butler (James Cagney) had been able to quiet their unrest, but he's quitting for a job in America. While the plantation owner (Pat O'Brien) does his best to keep Nick working for him, Nick catches the eye of a trouble-making nightclub singer named Lee (Ann Sheridan) who is on the run from the law.
