Captain Steve Savage arrives on the island of Iko Tama to build a weather station for the U.S. military, but encounters hostile and indifferent indigenous elements that prove far more dangerous than anticipated. When American signal corps units become stuck on the uncharted island, Steve Savage must devise a strategy to overcome Colonel Kobari's entrenched defensive position at the center of a fortified hill. The soldiers plan a daring assault involving a parachute landing and coordinated ground attack to break through Kobari's underground gun emplacements and achieve victory.
