A handful of American officers are sent to the Philippines to train natives to defend themselves against the evil wild natives of the jungle who rape and pillage at will. Gary Cooper is the doctor, who saves the village from cholera, uses psychology to teach them not to be afraid of the enemy and falls in love with the commanding officer's daughter; all much to the displeasure of the CO. It all leads to the Big Action Finale, a strictly routine attack on the village, with Cooper, predictably, the hero.
