The story
In a forerunner of The Dirty Dozen, Marine Gunnery Sergeant McGrath takes 12 Marines from the brig and trains them to blow up a tunnel behind North Korean lines. McGrath's only friend on the patrol is his Korean guide Pak. Hating their sergeant, the Marines plan to return to their lines without him, seeing that he becomes "a casualty of war".
