During World War II, the Japanese wrest control of the Philippines from the United States, but stalwart Colonel John Wayne (as Joseph "Joe" Madden) doesn't see things the "Jap" way. With help from Filipino officer Anthony Quinn (as Andres Bonifacio), US troops fulfill their promise to the Filipinos, and save their colony for democracy. Fiancée Fely Franquelli (as Dalisay Delgado) makes Mr. Quinn's love life interesting as she seems to be favoring the enemy. Scene stealing schoolteacher Beulah Bondi (as Bertha Barnes) and little "Ducky" Louie (as Maximo) help play tug of war with your heart. The ending would have you stand and salute.
