For residents of the Samoan village of Pago Pago, life is simple until a boat arrives carrying two couples, the Davidsons (who are missionaries), the MacPhails and a prostitute named Sadie Thompson (played brilliantly by Crawford). Davidson (in a remarkable, yet little recognized performance by Walter Huston) is more than just a religious zealot; he's a mad man. When the boat, which was en route to another port, is temporarily stranded on the island due to a possible Cholera outbreak on-board, Sadie spends her time "partying" with the American soldiers stationed on the island. Her behavior, however, is more than the Davidsons can stand and soon Mr. Davidson confronts Sadie about her evil ways and offers salvation. When Sadie rebels and the attempted redemption does not go as planned, Davidson arranges to have her sent back to San Francisco, where she fled some years ago due to mysterious personal issues. Davidson soon becomes unhinged and thus begins a series of surprising events which culminate in disaster and a very powerful ending. Written by Eva1-1 Life is easy in Pago Pago, on an isle in the Pacific. Soon arrives Alfred Davidson (Walter Huston), a religious missionary with his wife, Dr. MacPhail (Matt Moore) with his wife, and prostitute, Sadie Thompson. All of them have a good relationship with the military police lead by Sgt. Tim O'Hara (William Gargan). Sadie settles in the same bungalow where the Davidsons and the MacPhails live. There the girl will wind people up with parties and the music of her phonograph. Even Sgt. Tim O'Hara, nicknamed by Sadie as "Handsome", will try to win the heart of her. Sadie's carrying some secrets from her past, some crimes that she has to pay for in San Francisco, so she's trying to scape to Sidney or maybe other place in the Pacific. Alfred can't stand the situation, and he'll move his influences with the governor to make Sadie leaves the isle and returns to San Francisco. Sgt. O'Hara gets very upset with Davidson and he'll try to help Sadie and sends her to Sidney, Australia. But Sadie has become another woman by the influence of Davidson and his prays, she's regretted of her old life and is disposed to travel to San Francisco and confronts justice.
