Synopsis
Rip's paratroopers are lured to a South pacific island where the Japanese have apparently set up an airfield. When they arrive, they discover it's a fake. The Japanese escape after capturing Rip. He learns their plan was to lure the paratroopers into the jungle, where they would be infected with germ warfare. With the help of a native girl, he gets some of the antidote and radioes his platoon to rescue them.
