Synopsis
Escaping from behind enemy lines in World War II, Marking, a young Filipino truckdriver, takes to the hills and joins a band of freedom fighters who are conducting guerrilla warfare against the conquering Japanese forces. Because of his courage and initiative, he is made their leader, taking over the function from Cabalhim. His forces grow constantly, and against overwhelming odds his harassment of the Japanese becomes increasingly costly to them. Joining his band are Sid, an American they have freed from a prison camp, and Yay, a newspaper correspondent with whom Marking falls in love. Ultimately, the work of Marking's guerrillas attracts the attention of the U. S. Army, and he is sent technical assistance and modern munitions. From then on he and Yay fight side by side with the liberation army toward the day of complete destruction of the enemy; the differences in their classes and education are surmounted by their shared experiences and love.
