The group is led by Lt. Kuroki (TATSUYA MIHASHLI), in civilian life a journalist and a handsome and sensitive descendant of the proud warriors called the Samurai. Under the skillful mzanouevering of Capt. Bourke (CLINT WALKER), a damaged ‘plane carying U. S. Marines crash-lands on the island. Ch.Pharm. Mate Maloney (FRANK SINATRA) aids the injured and fortifies himself with ample draughts from a bottle. Radioman Keller (TONY BILL) finds their equipment so badly damaged that he cannot report the group's position. Upon discovering the island is held by Japanese, inexperienced Lt. Blair (TOMMY SANDS) grows eager to go after the enemy though he knows neither their strength nor the layout of the island. Encouraged by Maloney, who steals Blair’s manual of regulations, Bourke declares himself in command and restrains Blair. Sgt. Bleeker (BRAD DEXTER), a surly boxer turned soldier, accepts Bourke’s authority as sullenly as Blair. A Japanese patrol, led by Sgt. Tamura (TAKESHI KATO), a man as ready to fight as Blair, is trapped at the wrecked ‘plane by a Marine group led by Cpl. Craddock (SAMMY JACKSON) and Capt. Bourke. The Nippon soldiers escape, but Cpl. Hirano (HOMARE SUGURO) suffers a wounded leg which becomes gangrenous. Lt. Kuroki, enraged at Set. Tamura’s disobedience of orders, threatens to behead him. Seeking the lost group, an American destroyer cruises off the island. Kuroki’s men force the Marines to stay under cover and run up a Rising Sun flag, thus deluding the destroyer into shelling the r Marines’ position. With several dead on both sides, Blair and Bleeker agitate to attack the Nippon camp at once. Capt. Bourke reasserts his authority by smashing Bleeker to the ground. The next American move is to try to seize a freshwater spring held by the enemy. When this fails, three Marines capture the boat the Japanese built. Two Americans are killed, and Pvt. Arikawa (TORO IBUKI) and Pvt. Johnson (RAFER JOHNSON) destroy each other in a bayonet duel in the water. Realizing he has lost the boat, Lt. Kuroki sets it afire, then tries to rescue the dying Arikawa. Affected by his gallantry, Capt. Bourke refrains from shooting at Kuroki. Hope has now faded for both sides, but they bury their dead and prepare for more killing. Kuroki, however, has noticed Maloney bandaging the American wounded. He goes unarmed to the Marine camp to ask Bourke for the services of Maloney, who he thinks is a doctor. In exchange, Kuroki offers fresh water. Bourke enlarges the bargain to include fish and potatoes, and sends Maloney to look at the poisoned leg of Cpl. Hirano. When Maloney refuses to amputate, as is necessary, Hirano insists on the surgery and denumbs himself with Maloney’s booze. Upon returning Maloney to the American camp, Lt. Kuroki proposes a truce on one condition — that fighting will be resumed if either side again becomes part of the war. Bourke accepts the truce offer.

The truce is broken and both sides line up for battle. But a sudden violent wind warns that a typhoon is coming. Kuroki shouts to Bourke that all men will be needed to save the sole water-source. The storm swamps the soldiers as they make a barricade of rocks and logs. Blair, working away beside Tamura, is swept into the sea and is rescued by Kuroki. When the typhoon is over, the pool has been saved. A celebration follows and both sides take part. Now Kuroki reveals that he left his bride of an hour to go to war, and learns from Maloney how Bourke lost his sweetheart in a Japanese air-raid on Manila. When Bourke is told by Keller of a radio-contact with American forces, and knows that help is on the way, he offers good terms of surrender to Kuroki. But the fact that the Marines will be returning to the fight compels Kuroki to refuse. The U. S. warship approaches the island. The waiting Americans are raked by Japanese fire. They return the fire. Many on both sides are killed, and Kuroki is fatally wounded. Blair pleads for a surrender, but Kuroki’s answer is to raise his rifle and blast at Bourke, who receives the shot in the arm but does not return it. Kuroki, near death, sinks to the ground. The remaining Americans board the shore boat. Maloney gives Bourke the boil-soaked diary of Kuroki for delivery, at some future time, to the widow of the brave man.
