OK entry in the short series "What Do You Think?," directed by Jacques Tourneur. Starts off with narrator Carey Wilson telling of when he sailed on a tramp steamer years before. One night he and the other passengers see a meteor flash across the sky. They all discuss what a shooting star means to them, which leads one among them to relate a story he heard in his time in the South Pacific. Basically, it's the story of a white trader named Kurt Larsen (Moroni Olsen) who takes advantage of natives on a tiny island. When a meteor the natives call Tupapaoo flashes across the sky, the natives say its a sign of a curse. Larsen doesn't believe it at first but eventually bad things happen that force him to flee the island. This story then ties back to the present-day story amusingly.
