James A. Fitzpatrick sends the Technicolor cameras to Haiti, where, at the command of cinematographer Robert Carney, they briefly show some street scenes in Cap-Haitien. Then he spends the remainder of this Traveltalk talking about Henri Christophe and his reign as king of Haiti. FItzpatrick seems to be in admiration of Christophe, prefacing his perorations of his accomplishments with comments which were pretty racist even for 1941.
