***The Man Called Back*** is a 1932 American [Pre-Code](/source/Pre-Code) film directed by [Robert Florey](/source/Robert_Florey).

This film was independently produced for the bargain-basement price of $68,000, partly because Florey was allowed to re-use the tropical set constructed for the [RKO Radio Pictures](/source/RKO_Radio_Pictures) film *[Bird of Paradise](/source/Bird_of_Paradise_(1932_film))* (1932).[1]

## Plot
