In 1952, during the Korean War, two American pilots become bitter enemies over the same woman but must shelve their personal feud when confronted by deadly Chinese MIG fighter jets in battle.
In 1952, as the Korean War rages on, American officers land in Kyoto. Among them are Major Ceve Saville, assigned to a fighter squadron, and Lieutenant Carl Abbott. The latter neglects his charming wife Kristina, who is sinking into bitterness. In Korea, Saville meets again Colonel Dutch Imil, a former brother-in-arms as well as other friends. Back in Japan, Saville falls in love with forsaken Kristina, which arouses Abbott’s jealousy. The two men turn into implacable rivals.
