Output (English): The film traces the progress of three Marines on shore leave during World War II, in the Pacific. One of the men, Nico Jeffrey Hunter, is a seasoned, decorated sergeant; the second, Frankie Robert Wagner, is a perennial goofoff, who drinks too much; and the third, Alan Bradford Dillman, is an intellectual from a wealthy family. He has joined the Marines, despite his fathers protests. Nico, Frankie and Alan come to San Francisco on a furlough from the war. Nico proposes and marries his pregnant girlfriend Andrea Hope Lange. A drunken Frankie fights with Charlie Stanton, his hateful stepfather, who thinks him a coward. The wealthy Alan catches his fiancee, Sue Dana Wynter, with another man. Lorraine Sheree North, who is in love with Frankie, has joined the military as a WAVE. She introduces his friend Alan to her roommate Kalai France Nuyen, a nurse of HawaiianFrench heritage. They all go to Lorraines apartment, where Frankie first passes out, then wakes up screaming at the thought of returning to the war. Lorraine decides to leave him. Kalai professes her love for Alan. The three men return to the Pacific front. Frankie initially shows cowardice and Nico slaps some sense into him. Later, Frankie saves Alan and is honored for his heroism. Alan becomes ill with malaria and when a wounded Japanese soldier calls out to him for help, he tries to give the Japanese soldier some water but Nico shoots the wounded soldier and reveals to Alan and the other marines that a grenade was hidden under the wounded soldier as a trap. Alan then begins to question the futility of the war. When an advancing enemy tank threatens the platoon, Nico singlehandedly blows up the tank, but dies from his wounds. Back home, Kalai visits Sue in the hospital after she tries to commit suicide. Suffering from alcohol withdrawal, Sue dies during Kalis visit. The war ends and Alan returns to Kalai and becomes a professor at the local university. Frankie, now promoted to sergeant, brings Nicos last love letter home to Andrea, who has given birth to their child. Andrea tells Frankie that she would like to see him again.
