A Marine Corp lieutenant runs amok in combat and kills, perhaps intentionally, the best friend of Kerwin Matthews. Back in New Zealand, Matthews falls in love with his friend's widow while the lieutenant courts her sister. They are practically at each others throats before being called back to duty for another island invasion. There are some good ideas floating around in this anti-war drama, but the melodrama is overemphasized and the final combat scenes rely on too much stock footage. Matthews is quite good in his non-Sinbad role!
