Walter Eckland è un ex professore di storia, ora iroso ubriacone, che ha mollato tutto e scorrazza per il Pacifico in piena seconda guerra mondiale. Il comando inglese ha necessità di un avvistatore di aerei giapponesi in una sperduta isoletta. Il comandante della guarnigione dove Eckland ha attraccato la sua barca lo ricatta (in nome dei vecchi tempi) e lo costringe a assumere l'incarico Il tempo trascorre tranquillamente, per così dire, finché Walter non viene contattato per salvare, con una barchetta a motore, un altro avvistatore su un'isola vicina.
