Plot

During the Korean War, four soldiers reminisce about their past romantic adventures. One of them is currently involved with an Army nurse, another with a Eurasian bargirl. When the tank crew takes their girlfriends on a picnic, they make contact with North Korean guerillas who later try to steal medical supplies from their base.

Resuming battle with the North Koreans, their tank breaks down against a cliff. One of the men risks life and limb to sneak out and retrieve a new gear box. It is a dangerous, exciting journey, but will he succeed?

Soundtrack

Richard La Salle's first film score uses pieces of Debussy's Three Nocturnes For Orchestra.
