Overview

In a remote jungle outpost in the Far Eastern theater of World War II, a hotheaded American soldier murders an allied British sergeant in cold blood. Stalwart American Lt. Colonel Barney Adams (Mitchum) is dispatched to defend him in the ensuing court martial. But when Lt. Adams starts encountering roadblocks in his search for evidence, and his key witnesses start disappearing one after another, he soon realizes he's merely a pawn in a mysterious conspiracy that could extend to the highest levels of military power.

00:00:36 Here you are. Cup of tea, eh?

00:06:55 Break it up!

00:10:04 Barney, this theater is the springboard for the last all-out offensive.

00:13:36 Look, I'm here to help you.

00:18:21 Morning, sir! Lieutenant Harvey Bender.

00:21:23 - Hundreds of new cases every day. - I do appreciate that.

00:24:44 I killed a man, Colonel. They say there's no defense for that.

00:28:50 That is confidential.

00:32:11 - Do you need us anymore tonight, sir? - Yeah, I might.

00:35:21 Don't start with me, please, General. Why did you transfer Kaufman?

00:38:49 You know what they have done to Leon Kaufman?

00:42:09 Gentlemen, back to work. It's not the king's birthday or the Fourth ofJuly, you know.

00:45:23 He's mad, all the same.

00:48:55 How did you know where to find me?

00:53:12 This is strictly an off-the-record session for background use only.

00:56:36 Yes.

01:01:07 I think I left a report here this morning.

01:05:27 I'm sure he's asked you the same question.

01:08:51 - Your call, sir. - Just a minute.

01:12:27 I want you on that stand.

01:15:49 Yes. As I said, the report was neither competent nor scientific.

01:19:54 Thank you.

01:24:21 I have no more questions for this witness, sir.
