12 Japanese seaman who, in June 1944, are stranded on an abandoned island called An-ta-han for 7 years. The island's only inhabitants are the overseer of the abandoned plantation and an attractive young Japanese woman. Soon, discipline and rationality are replaced by a struggle for power and the woman. Power is represented by a pair of pistols found in the wreckage of an American airplane, so important that five men pay for their lives in a bid for supremacy. (Kino Lorber)
