The movie is set in Jamaica and begins with a group performing a song and then a cockfight.
Sylvia Walton (Ida James) of Harlem inherits a Jamaican banana plantation and returns to manage it. Her disinherited half-sister Isabelle (Nina Mae McKinney), who ran the plantation until their father's death, does not greet her. But Sylvia, her two rival suitors, and her comic-relief servant Percy are disturbed by the constant, growing sound of drums.
Nina Mae McKinney can be heard singing an excerpt of The Devil’s Daughter soundtrack on the album Jamaica Folk Trance Possession 1939-1961.[2]
