About this release
Un'infermiera cerca nel Pacifico la tomba del marito (che non morì precisamente da eroe). Durante le ricerche s'innamora di un eroe autentico, un "duro" e spregiudicato colonnello di origine pellerossa. Troppo duro e spregiudicato. Lei lo lascia. Ma lo riprende quando glielo riportano in barella gravemente ferito dai giapponesi.
