A top US scientist is shot down behind enemy lines in Korea and it's up to three men to rescue him before the Koreans can learn any secrets.
Capt. Tom Arnett (John Agar), Lt. Bill Claiborne (Gregory Walcott) and Lt. Sandy Wilkinson (James Dobson) are the three men on the rescue mission. They also make contact with the Korean underground led by Capt. Chon (Victor Sen Yung) and an Russian nurse, Tanya Nikova (Audrey Totter) who happens tobe an old flame of Arnett's from previous missions.
There is a great deal of trouble locating where the missing US scientist is because no information has been made available since his plane went down. He is finally located in a small hospital and then it becomes a race against time to get him out before the North Koreans get hold of him.
This Edward L. Cahn quickie has been torn apart by way too many people over the years since it appeared in the book entitled "The 50 Worst Films Ever Made". It gets a bad rap that is undeserved.
I enjoyed this film, but then again I am a huge fan of director Cahn and actor Agar. It was rather strange seeing Totter as a Russian nurse, but that is part of this films charm.
There is a lot of stock footage and a few plot gaps, but overall I recommend you give this movie a look, at least once anyway before believing all the junk you read about it.
It's a hard film to see and when it appeared on Shout TV I decided to stream it and finally get a chance to see it. The rest of the cast includes Leonard Strong, Nicky Blair and Joseph Hamilton.
