His life is forever changed when he meets an Army doctor named Katherine Cross (Saint James), who persuades him to help her save a group of war orphans. First, she appeals to his sense of guilt; then she blackmails him into assisting. The children are cared for by a few Vietnamese nuns. The doctor and the medic bring them badly needed food and supplies. To do this, they must face enemy bombs and the resistance of the U.S. government.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
