Set in the islands of the Malay Archipelago, Victory tells the story of a disillusioned Swede, Axel Heyst, who rescues Lena, a young English musician, from the clutches of a brutish German hotel owner.

The arrival on the island paradise of this trio of fiends sets off a terrifying series of events that ultimately ends in catastrophe.
