Synopsis

Rokuro, a student, takes a summer job on a fishing boat. After the ship stops at Okinawa for repairs, the crew become the unwitting accomplices of Ganaha, a gangster who tricks them into disposing of a body. On a distant island, the crew is suddenly bombarded by a mysterious aircraft as they are about to complete their task. Kana, a local girl, recognizes the dead man as her cousin and fiancé, but when the men return the body to her father, he refuses to identify it. Now aware of Ganaha's insidious influence, Rokuro and his friends learn that the gangster plans to use them as targets for U. S. military bombardment. [Sources are unclear about the end of the film.]
