Film Synopsis
France, during WWII. In 1944, André Ferrier and his brother Jacques are bravely participating in the Allied Alsace campaign. Before André's very eyes Jacques is killed by a German officer in the Panzer division. Three years later André is in Indochina fighting another war. He is an assistant to Blosky, patrol leader of the small post of Ba-Cong. Surrounded by rebels and awaiting reinforcements from Saigon, the post receives help from an unlikely source: a small plane belonging to a plantation owner. Just when things couldn't get any worse, Blosky goes down with malaria and require urgent care. Then André has a more personal matter to deal with. The plane's pilot turns out to be the same man who murdered his brother...© James Travers
