Description:
A unit of British soldiers in the jungle are tasked with recording jungle and troop sounds to mislead the enemy. As they move towards their base, they lose radio contact and are only able to pick up a clear Japanese broadcast, suggesting they are dangerously close to a Japanese camp – perhaps only 10 to 15 miles away. The already tense situation is heightened by Private Bamforth, a cynical soldier who openly dislikes everyone, particularly Corporal Johnstone, who reciprocates the feeling. The arrival of a Japanese prisoner forces each man to reveal their true character.
