The story

On June 12, 1944, a small fleet of Japanese supply ships are attacked by American planes between Japan and New Guinea. Only twelve seamen, some soldiers and some fishermen drafted into service, are able to make it to the nearby jungle island of Anatahan, where they remain stranded for seven years. The island's only inhabitants are the overseer of an abandoned copra plantation and an attractive young Japanese woman.
