The story

In 1945, on a Pacific island, Sergeant Sam Gifford is demoted to private after striking an officer. He is transferred to a punishment company, run by the dictatorial Captain Grimes, who insists on being called "Waco" in order to prevent his own death by Japanese snipers. Through flashbacks, we learn Gifford's backstory—his civilian status as a wealthy cotton farmer, hard and uncaring towards his employees, and married to Jenny, the beautiful daughter of his National Guard commander, well-to-do plantation owner Colonel Cousins.
