Chosen by General Denton, Chief of American Far East Intelligence, for a dangerous and highly important mission, Red Randall and Jimmy Joyce take off from the carrier Tipton. Their assignment is to contact the American leader of a guerrilla band on the Japanese-held island of Luzon. Against incredible odds they land their Grumman Avenger on the strongly Japanese-guarded island, only to find that the guerrilla leader, Navy Lieutenant Jackson, has been captured. Grimly determined to complete their assignment, they map out a daring plan to rescue Jackson, who possesses information of vital importance to the American forces in their plans for the invasion of Luzon. How they effect a rescue with the help of Jackson's Filipino guerrillas, and how Red wages a one-man war against a Japanese garrison, make a suspense-filled action-packed story.
