The story

Spain rules the Philippines with an iron hand in the 1870s and uses the island of Samar as a penal colony for unwanted political prisoners. An American doctor and adventurer makes himself unpopular, and is offered the post of doctor on the island, which he accepts, the alternative proposal being more unpleasant. The colony is in a state of unrest, and decide to brave the jungle, which is full of savage head-hunters, in a bid for freedom from their Spanish oppressors.
