During the Vietnam War, Brian Anderson, a young Army medic, is stationed in Saigon.

At first, a doctor named Katherine Cross has to persuade him to help the children. But soon, Brian willingly puts his career and safety on the line to provide the orphans with the food and medical supplies they need.
