Synopsis

In Southeast Asia, guerrilla rebels kidnap an American couple, Easter and Tony Banford, and hold them for a ransom of guns and ammunition. Realizing that the rebels must be stopped, Chevern McCase, a former World War II guerrilla fighter, joins his friend Jeff Saygure in organizing a rescue party. While they are leading a team of plantation workers to the rebel headquarters, Easter is brutally raped by Martin, the guerrilla leader, as Tony watches helplessly. Eventually Chevern and his men reach the guerrilla headquarters, destroy their radio communications, and rescue the young couple. As they make their getaway by sampan, Martin and the rebels attack. Tony hastily misfires when he sees Martin about to shoot Jeff and is himself killed by a blast from the enemy leader's gun. Jeff counters by hurling a hand grenade at Martin and killing him. Seeing their leader fall, the guerrillas flee in disorganized retreat. Jeff then consoles Easter and explains that the rescue effort was worth the cost because it kept the uprising from developing into a fullscale revolt.
