The story

In 1941, in China struggling with civil war and the Japanese occupation, Captain Tao-Yuan-Kai wants to execute David Jones for selling oil to the Japanese, but can do nothing because Jones is American. Japanese aircraft bomb the town, so Jones drives toward Shanghai with his partner, Johnny Sparrow, who has acquired a newly orphaned baby boy. After nightfall, they are forced to stop because Chinese refugees crowd the road.
