Set in the closing days of WW II in
Shaanxi Province, where an American fighter pilot makes a crash landing
behind Japanese lines, but is rescued by a unit of the Communist-led 8th
Route Army. A small detachment, including a nurse, is detailed to get
the pilot to Chinese-held territory, and in route they have a variety of
adventures.
The American pilot saw with his own
eyes the unyielding national spirit of the Chinese people as well as the
cruelty of the Japanese agressors. He eventually falls in love with the
nurse, who, in order to save the American pilot's life, is killed by the
Japanese.
