After repelling the initial attack, the unit receives a faint distress signal from Captain Powel's 126th Infantry Scout Platoon, discovering that only a handful of men escaped and are lost near Kumsong. The soldiers locate the missing platoon and regroup with them, but soon find themselves pursued by bank robbers and thieves who have stolen forty thousand dollars, leading the soldiers to chase the criminals toward a mountain cabin where the fugitives plan to hide out.
A war correspondent conducting a morale survey on the Korean front encounters Sergeant Loomis Craig, who answers that he's fighting for only one thing: tomorrow. When the two are captured by enemy forces and forced to escape, they discover a planned Red Army attack set to devastate the undermanned American sector at dawn. With time running out and only a handful of soldiers to work with, Craig and Harrod must find a way to disrupt the enemy's command post and buy their unit enough time to mount a defense.
Captain Rowe despises having a Great Dane named Hamlet assigned to his scout platoon—until the Korean War forces him to reckon with what the dog was actually trained to do. When Rowe and his men are ambushed and cut off near Kumsong, only Private Furey and Hamlet stand between the patrol and certain defeat, as the unlikely pair attempt an desperate journey through enemy lines to bring back help.
Canarsie, a Korean War hero, volunteers to lead a group of female Marine recruits on a cross-country hike—only to discover they're far tougher and more resourceful than he bargained for. When bank robbers hole up in a mountain cabin near the women's route, Canarsie finds himself pinned down by gunfire, and the "Minnie Marines" must pool their unconventional skills—from rodeo roping to circus strength to bullfighting—to turn the tables and capture the criminals. It's a spirited romp that proves these women are every bit the equal of any leatherneck.
