Summary
Near the end of the French phase of the Vietnam War, a group of mercenaries are recruited to travel through enemy territory to the Chinese border, to blow up an arms depot. A Eurasian smuggler, Lucky Legs, agrees to use her connections to help them, in return they agree to take her illegitimate son to America. The racist father of the boy, Sergeant Brock, is also part of the multinational group. Lucky Legs must use the love of a Eurasian guerilla leader, Major Cham, to get access to the base. The other members of the patrol are also haunted by past memories--Goldie is a veteran of Korea and World War II who hates war and wants to see peace at all costs; Corporal Pigalle is an ex-French gendarme who doesn't like taking orders; Captain Gaumont is the mercenary leader; Charlie is an Vietnamese-American private; and Private Andreades, is a hard-nosed Greek expatriate.
