Murdoch and Carter kill each other on the boat, and Michael and Emmeline vow to never attempt to leave the island again. While Murdoch attempts to trick Michael into getting him a bounty of pearls, Carter tries to kidnap Emmeline and escape. Surprised to find the couple on the island, Doctor Murdoch soon realizes that Michael collects valuable pearls without knowing their true worth. One day, a ship arrives carrying Doctor Murdoch and James Carter, two British men, who are intimated to have fled as criminals from civilization. They survive solely on their resourcefulness and the bounty of their remote paradise.Įight years later, in 1849, the now-adult couple live together in the island paradise, fish, and collect "beads" from the shellfish in the surrounding lagoon. Eventually, Paddy dies in a drunken binge, leaving Emmeline and Michael alone. After days afloat, they are marooned on a lush tropical island in the company of kindly old sailor Paddy Button. In 1841, 8-year-old Emmeline Foster and 10-year-old Michael Reynolds, two British children, are the survivors of a shipwreck in the South Pacific.
