British prisoners of war suffer executions and worse at the hands of the camp's inhumane Japanese commander. He promises a massacre if the Japanese lose the war, and when the prisoners learn that is exactly what has happened they try to keep the news from him. An American pilot crash lands on the island and threatens to spoil their plans. It's not quite the exploitation flick implied by the title, but not a serious war film either, with too much emphasis on the torture and executions and not enough on the characters.
