Synopsis
While the Americans and Japanese battle over a secret island air strip, Taffy Tucker starts to recover from her amnesia - only enough to wonder how she ended up in the middle of a battle. She joins up with Marine Corp medical unit, and is put to use.
Taffy partially overcomes her amnesia to recover her identity. Meanwhile, her friends Joss and Patrick fight to hold the coast against Japanese ships seeking to establish a beachhead.
Joss and Patrick fret over the fate of Taffy Tucker and continue to search for her. They ultimately find her, partially amnesiatic, working at the field hospital. They help her fully regain her memory, and return her to base to face charges of being a Japanese spy.
Terry learns that the Chinese can't corroborate his sighting of a Japanese bomber crash, a fact that will bring him in front of a Board of Inquiry. The Chinese, admiring his courage, determine to try to find the missing plane.
Terry's mysterious crashed Jap bomber is found, and he gets promoted by the board from Cadet to Flight Officer, but must still observe battles from the ground until he has more experience. Things heat up between Grett and Terry.
A group of thugs plan and execute a kidnapping, and almost get away scot free, if it weren't for the clues that one of the thugs leaves behind, landscape drawings of where their hide-out is located.
Ricky finds a five-dollar bill on the ground, then proceeds to live like a king, treating himself and Ginger at the soda shop until he is told that it is counterfeit.
