John Wayne joins the Marines and becomes caught in a brutal battle with enemy forces who have set up a machine gun position. After a grueling night of combat, Wayne and his fellow soldiers attempt to knock out the gun emplacement, and Wayne is taken prisoner by the enemy. His captors subject him to torture, including the "Tantalus" treatment of water just out of reach, but Wayne manages to escape and must swim for his life while pursued by crocodiles in a deadly river.
