Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Made for television, Escape to Mindinao stars George Maharis and Ronald Remy as two GIs interred in a Japanese POW camp. Effecting a daring (and economically filmed) escape, Maharis and Remy make off with a secret Japanese decoding device. During their efforts to get back to their own lines, the fugitives cross the path of mercenary Dutch captain Nehemiah Persoff and his lovely daughter Willi Koopman. Maharis and Remy very nearly lose their top-secret booty to a black market ring before their journey is over. Escape to Mindinao was filmed on Luzon, in the Philippines.
