During the American invasion of the Philippines during World War II, a group of convicts escapes from a prison and heads for the hills. They run into a pair of ex-soldiers who have escaped from a Japanese concentration camp, and they soon take command of the group. Soon the group encounters a beautiful girl who, they discover, has a grandfather who is guarding a treasure of gold and cash that belonged to the pre-war Filipino government, which he intends to return to the government when the war ends. However, some among the group of convicts have other ideas about what to do with the treasure—and the girl. Complications ensue.
