- Synopsis:
- The Malay Peninsula, 1945. The prisoner-of-war camp on Blood Island is commanded by the brutal Colonel Yamamitsu (Ronald Radd) and his sadistic henchman, Captain Sakamura (Marne Maitland). Aware that his war crimes will condemn him, Yamamitsu has vowed to slaughter all his prisoners if Japan surrenders. Inmates Colonel Lambert (Andre Morell) and Piet Van Elst (Carl Mohner) discover that the war is over. They desperately try to keep the fact secret from their captors in the hope that the camp will be liberated. Lambert struggles to maintain discipline while his men, and the women held captive in a neighbouring compound, fight for their lives...
