The story

In the Pacific Theater of World War II, an Imperial Japanese Navy captain is marooned alone on an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. One day, an American plane crash survival kit washes up on the shore, and he overhears an American military pilot, also recently stranded on the island, musing to himself in the jungle. The American hides from the Japanese's search and confronts him while he salvages the kit at his camp on the beach.
