Output (English): Friction develops between American and British troops stationed in India during World War II and culminates in physical outbreaks between the troops when, in 1944, American 2nd Lieutenant Winston Keenan Wynn shoots unarmed British Staff Sergeant Quinn Bill Mitchell multiple times seemingly without provocation before 11 witnesses. American General Kempton Barry Sullivan assigns Lieutenant Colonel Barney Adams Robert Mitchum to defend Winston at his courtmartial because, even though everyone thinks it is an openandshut case, the general wants Adams to put up a vigorous defense to make it clear that the verdict is not simply a sop to reduce tensions between the two armies before a major offensive against the real enemy. Adams later finds out that Winstons brotherinlaw, a Congressman, has been applying pressure. The Army Lunacy Commission has found Winston fit and sane. However, Adams is informed by nurse Kate Davray France Nuyen that Colonel Burton Alexander Knox, who headed the lunacy commission, refused to accept the report of the hospitals psychiatric head, Major Kaufman Sam Wanamaker, who believes Winston is a psychopath. Burton is anxious to have Winston convicted and hanged to patch the strained relations between the two forces. Adams instructs Kaufman to bring his report to the trial, but when Burton is informed of this order he transfers Kaufman to a distant hospital. Adams visits British Major Kensington Trevor Howard, a qualified psychiatrist who also considers Winston to be psychopathic but has been warned not to interfere. Kensington believes Winston killed Quinn out of a feeling of victimization because Quinn, a sergeant, had the same duties as Winston, a lieutenant. Winston, in an interview with Adams, raves that he killed Quinn for defiling the white race by consorting with a black woman. Though he despises Winston, Adams refuses to rig the trial, and he holds back his defense, waiting for Kaufman to arrive as a witness. When he learns that Kaufman has been killed in an accident on the way to the trial, Adams calls Kensington to the stand after establishing that no member of the lunacy commission is a qualified psychiatrist. As Kensington describes Winstons mental illness to the court, Winston cracks and begins raving. Adams wins his case and spends a few days of peace and happiness with nurse Davray before leaving the area. The friction between the troops is eased, and they prepare to enter battle in complete unity.
