Wahine

One Way Wahine was the next beach movie, after Ride the Wild Surf, to be filmed on the sands of Hawaii. It was marketed to the teenage audience as a beach movie but it is a more serious look at the seamy side of Hawaii and the surf bums and one way wahines who go there to make a quick buck.

The photographs showed a very plain-looking, very young wahine.

Cowboy applauded his pupils and turned to the audience. “Give these two wahines a round, folks. They've been good sports.”
