The narrator becomes involved in a mutiny and afterward is imprisoned on the island of Tahiti. His observations of the island, its way of life and the customs of the natives follow. Omoo" is the sequel to Melville's hugely successful Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life, and was adapted into the 1949 exploitation film Omoo-Omoo, The Shark God.
