Dopo un colpo di stato in Nigeria, al comandante Walters è affidato il compito di portare in salvo i componenti di una missione, il cui capo è la dottoressa Lendricks, che presta la sua opera di medico volontario nella giungla. La donna non vuole però abbandonare i pazienti al loro destino, e d'altronde Waters non può imbarcare gli indigeni sul suo elicottero per non incorrere in ritorsioni diplomatiche. Preso da un soprassalto di umanità, l'ufficiale decide di disobbedire agli ordini e di accompagnare i componenti della missione fino al confine con il Camerun.
