The film is based on the adventure-fantasy novel Les Indes Noires (The Child of the Cavern) written in 1877 by French author Jules Verne.
This film draws a parallel between the mythical richness of the West and East Indies and the newly found richness of the coal-based industrialized regions of Europe during the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century.
