John Ireland leads the cast in this forgotten Korean War B-yarn which sees a battle-hardened sergeant attempt to keep his men alive. That is my take on the plot of a film that is essentially plotless. The men argue, joke around, and go from one indistinguishable skirmish to another. The script was written by a man named Wyott Ordung and he was of "Robot Monster" infamy (widely regarded as one of the worst things ever committed to celluloid), which says enough for the script.
Ireland is quite good here and he was the highpoint of the film for me. It is a completely pointless film that just runs over 70 minutes. The direction is wooden and as lacking as the script, but there is a decent bit of action that is well shot and performed. It is clearly shot on the studio lot, so it wins no points for set design; the film could really pass as either a WW2 or Korea film. It all goes no where and is quite surreal in that. Worth tracking down? No. Not even for Korea War enthusiasts.
