Synopsis:

Real-life WW II hero Audie Murphy stars in this war drama that follows the exploits of a civilian who works closely with Filipino resistance fighters against the Japanese invaders. The man has come to the islands to find his new wife after they are separated during their honeymoon in Manila. She is alive but thinks that her hubby died under enemy fire. She then begins to fall in love with one of the underground leaders. Meanwhile, her husband and his buddy must fight the Japanese and the jungle until at last they find her. As soon as they are reunited, the guerrilla gracefully bows out, leaving the couple to head home and resume their lives.

This is only the second Audie Murphy movie set in WWII after his autobiographical 'To Hell and Back.' Here Murphy steps out of his usual kid-Western role to play a civilian working for the Navy helping supply guerilla insurgents in the Philippines. His sole motive is not politics nor bravery, but to find his bride from whom he was separated during the Japanese invasion two years before.

In his second WWII film after the autobiographical 'To Hell and Back' Audie Murphy plays a civilian working for the Navy helping supply guerilla insurgents in the Philippines. His sole motive is not politics nor bravery but to find his bride from whom he was separated during the Japanese invasion two years before.
