Gregory Peck runs a mental hospital at an Army base. His worst patients are kept in a special ward where they deal with the harrowing after effects of war. Some require treatment with Sodium Pentothal, which they refer to as "flak juice", causing them to relive scenes at the root of their problems. Eddie Albert stands out as a delusional Colonel as does Bobby Darin who has a devastating Pentothal session. Angie Dickinson provides the romantic angle.
