The Japanese take refuge in a cave, facing flame throwing tanks and other tactics designed by the Marines to box them in. Their leader reminds them that they will fight to the death, taking ten Americans each with them. A chance suddenly arises for the soldiers to escape, and for a while, it seems to work until the Americans run them back into the cave with no way out. The Japanese commander decides that each man will strap a grenade to himself and detonate it rather than surrender.
