In this exciting Korean War drama, a yellow-bellied sergeant stays back after sending his courageous unit to attack a communist bunker. Most of the men are slaughtered, but still the rest press on and successfully secure the bunker. The cowardly sergeant takes all the credit and then accuses the surviving fighters of cowardice. He waits expectantly for a medal, but one of the sergeant's superiors isn't sure he deserves it. One of the evil sarge's soldier's threatens to tell and so is killed. The sergeant then leads his men to disregard a cease-fire and attack a regiment of disarmed communist troops. This enrages the enemy who manages to kill him.
